"Rapsodia " is a spontaneous graphic account and it is composed by a book, a lamp, and two fonts.


This experiment, inverts the normal creative process of storyboard, plot and transcription, which represents the logical tie between writer and illustrator.


The drawings bear clear allusions to detailed Victorian and Art Noveau graphics, as well as to Japanese culture, Dutch earthenware, impressions of the far north, baroque miniatures that depersonalise people and objects with complex decor.


The book is a collection of notes and stylistic items, a catalogue that plots out an iconographical alphabet.


The tie between illustration and text lies in the "non" characterisation.

The characters recounted are stereotypes, nameless and ageless, who interpret non-stories: shadowy nursery rhymes with no moral.


The lamp called “cio che basta” is reduced in a few basic elements, all divided and protected in eight different boxes


The 2 type fontS are especially created for the Rapsodia project, and they are composed mixing different graphic elements from the 4 characters of the book.
