Edge - Emiliano Pesce
Emiliano Pesce, aka EDGE… was born in Rome in 1980, passionate about cinema, video games, comics, and board games. He began entering the world of comics and cosplay in the 1990s, reading and admiring the first American superhero comics. His first great passion!
In 1998 the very first Cosplay “Great Sayaman” from Dragonball Z, brought to the historic showcase of the old Rome fair Expocartoon…from then on many years of color and fun …every year a different interpretation, every year a different character drawn mainly from the world of American comics, the world of cinema and subsequently from Japanese manga, thanks to his favorite manga and anime Dragonball!
After learning and acquiring a lot of experience and skills in making props, accessories and armor for costumes, he participated in numerous Cosplay contests throughout Italy, over the years, winning numerous awards... from best performance with The Red Skull from Captain America, to best male character with Cell from Dragonball Z at Romics in 2008, from the title of King and Queen of Cosplay with ALGOL from Soul Calibur 4, up to the present day.
He reached his highest point thanks to his participation in the WCS (World Cosplay Summit) selections for the World Cosplay Championship... finishing in second place in 2013 and 2025, together with his great friend and partner Gianluca Orecchia during the selections held in Romics.
His dream of winning the WCS selections still lives on!
