Biography
Biography
Di Vito was born in Rome, and showed a love for drawing from an early age. His first published work appeared in the form of two short stories in the Italian magazine Intrepido. He was first published in America in Marvel Comics' Marvel Shadows and Light, with one of his pinups appearing in the comic book. Di Vito was asked to join the CrossGen staff as an associate penciller and became a fill-in artist for the comic books The First and Scion, becoming the official penciller of the former six months later. On getting his start in comics, Di Vito said, "After years of attempts, I went to San Diego Comic-Con, back in 2000. It was my last shot at finding a gig as a comic book artist. I remember meeting Steve McNiven that day, as we both stood in line to show our samples to Marvel. A few hours later I bumped into Mark Alessi, who at that time was starting up Crossgen. He was the first one to believe I could do something in this business and hired me as an apprentice artist". After nine issues on The First, Di Vito worked with Chuck Dixon and Rob Schwager on a new project, Brath. After over a year of work on this title, Di Vito decided to expand his horizons, lending his talents to other companies. He has pencilled such high-profile Marvel series as Thor and Young Avengers. He also worked with IDW, becoming the regular penciler for Dungeons & Dragons and Thunder Agents. He penciled the six-issue miniseries Annihilation and the World War Hulk: X-Men limited series. He then worked on The Union after having penciled The Savage Sword of Conan #12. Later, he penciled the five-issue miniseries Wolverine: Patch.

Reception
Di Vito's run on Thor, also known as Avengers Disassembled: Thor (2004), has been included in multiple lists of top Thor runs: #6 on CBR, #4 on Screen Rant, #4 on Nerdist, and #7 on Wired Italy. In his review of the ongoing Dungeons & Dragons series, Chris Sims, for ComicsAlliance, wrote that John Rogers's writing is "perfectly comp limented by Di Vito's expressive art" and that "It's fair to say that on some level, we all realize that a comic's protagonists are not really in any danger, but in a world based on D&D [...] the 'threat' of a battle is even lower. So rather than trying to craft battles with a false sense of importance, Rogers and Di Vito focus instead on making them interesting and memorable, and they definitely succeed". Also for ComicsAlliance, Chris Murphy wrote, "I was even more surprised by another licensed book, IDW's new Dungeons and Dragons series, which you would expect to be a completely phoned in book that's only read by diehard D&D fans who failed their intelligence checks. The thing is, apparently no one told writer John Rogers and artist Andrea Di Vito that, and as a result Dungeons and Dragons is way more fun than it has any right to be". In his 2018 review of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Living Legends #1, Joshua Davison, for Bleeding Cool, wrote, "Like the other Ralph Macchio and Andrea di Vito comics of the sort, it is a good entry point for the characters, especially for younger audiences. [...] Di Vito's artwork is good, if a little simple in some style choices. The inking is often a little heavier than it needs to be, but the overall aesthetic looks good and matches the upbeat nature of the story". In a 2020 review of The Union #1, The Beat highlighted that "the mini-series from Paul Grist and Andrea Di Vito caught a lot of attention after its initial reveal. [...] Di Vito’s art is rock solid, as always, and makes all of the RB Silva-designed looks pop off the page with appropriately bright and flashy colors from Woodard. While not boundary-pushing, Di Vito’s art is the gold standard for classic house-style superhero comics art and helps to lend a sense of authenticity to the new team".
