Latest book cover for Codice Edizioni: "Faune" is a climate fiction set in a near-future world ravaged by climate change.

It's nice when illustrations have a second life! Thanks to picture editor Lidwine Kervella and to Theispot stock! This piece is my contribution to the exhibition IN CAMMINO held at the prestigious Palazzo Madama in Turin, Italy (July 12 - October 13, 2023).

The tangle represents the many kinds of motivations behind the pilgrimage: spiritual, devotional, sometimes even penitential, as it was originally in the Middle Ages. Proceeding on the journey, the skein gradually unravels until it completely dissolves at the end of the pilgrimage. Thanks to Ale Giorgini and to Professor Villa, director of Palazzo Madama, for having me involved me in this project! Book cover illustration of "Anime morte" (Dead Souls) by Sam Riviere: a witty, metaphysical novel that depicts a fantastical, alternate-world version of London in which poetry has become the city’s major cultural product.
