Roberta Sacchi, a.k.a. Sakka, was born in Cremona. As a comic book artist, she started making herself a name in 2011, at Futuro Anteriore collective, during Napoli Comicon. Afterwards, she published several graphic novels as a solo author with Centro Fumetto Andrea Pazienza: Il Sogno del Minotauro, Elain, Il Libro Nuovo – come la Dama e la Tigre risalirono l’Ignoto and the artbook Ninfe. Since 2016, she has begun to collaborate with other publishers: Goodbye Marilyn (BeccoGiallo), Stradivari – Genius Loci (Kleiner Flug) and I Maestri del Mistero – Il Giro di Vite (Edizioni Star-Comics). She has also participated in collective editions such as Bandierine – La storia della Resistenza a fumetti (Barta Edizioni), Tales from Baule (Licaoni) and Dal Risorgimento alla Resistenza (Lucca Comics). Along with drawing, she also works as a teacher for the comic courses which have distinguished the Centro Fumetto Andrea Pazienza of Cremona for years. In September 2018, the short animated film Goodbye Marilyn by Maria Di Razza, inspired by the graphic novel of the same name, was shown during the 75° edition of theVenice International Film Festival. It was realized entirely with Sakka’s animated drawings.
