Cavazzano was born in Venice, Italy. He started his career at the age of 14, as an assistant to Luciano Capitanio (his cousin) and an inker for Romano Scarpa. He produced stories about Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck and others. Cavazzano's work is known for combining the traditional rubbery appearance of Disney characters with realistic illustration of technological gadgets and machinery. This style has had a big influence on many Disney illustrators of the new generation, especially the Italians. Recently, he drew the series 'Big Bazoon' for the Italian Playboy, and cooperated with the Spanish artist Sergio Aragonés on the gag series 'Oran et Outang'/'C'Est la Jungle' in Spirou. He also illustrated the epic Disney fantasy comic World of the Dragonlords, which was written by Byron Erickson. In Italy, he continued to draw Disney comics for Topolino. In 2006, he set up a new series for Disney Italia, 'Jungle Town'. He has received numerous awards for his work in comics. Apart from Disney, he has also been involved in drawing other, less known, comics and has done work in advertisement.

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion. Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong. Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands. The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company. —from Wikipedia

Cartoonist. An engineering graduate, he started writing comics since high school. He began his career as a screenwriter when he met an older two-year-old illustrator, Giorgio Cavazzano, who needed someone who could help him emerge as an independent artist. Pezzin began collaborating with Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, for which the Pezzin-Cavazzano duo produced numerous stories published both on Almanacco Topolino and on other Disney magazines. But Pezzin didn't just write Disney stories. Assisted by Cavazzano for the drawings, Pezzin wrote the texts of the series (created by him) Walkie and Talkie, Oscar and Tango, Smalto and Jonnhy and Captain Rogers. Later the duo separated and Pezzin, always continuing to work for Mondadori, also wrote comic stories for Bonelli like some by Zagor and several by Il piccolo ranger. After the comic book Topolino passes from Mondadori to Disney Italia, Pezzin starts dedicating itself almost exclusively to Disney characters, creating stories for various magazines such as Paperinik, Minni & company etc. With the designer Massimo De Vita he has designed numerous successful Disney comic sagas such as Once Upon a Time ... in America, The Lords of the Galaxy, the Adventures of Tops de Tops and the Time Machine Saga. He also scripted stories for younger children like those of Cip and Ciop and the Little Mermaid. In recent years Pezzin has stopped collaborating with Disney and has dedicated himself to the scripts of the Winx comic stories, published on the Winx Club.
