For around fifteen years that ignored and restricted circle of great military illustrators has been enriched by a great new talent. Giuseppe Rava born in 1963 started early to design his own love, the soldier. Since then Rava has continually grown in stature and so much so that he has become one of the major interpreters of this art the world over. Rava took his interest for things military from his father, who sadly died at the age of 57. His father was a man interested in collecting military artefacts and rava handled the objects and got a feel for them at an early age. He continued his interest in military things and studies uniforms and arms before embarking on new projects.
