Thanks to its intrinsic strength and the exceptional timelessness of the pictures, the book has now become a cult and a reference point in children’s publishing. The different types of paper used, simplicity of the images and holes that echo the story lead the reader along the mysterious path of the “darkness of the night”. 5 Bruno Munari the 1945 series “In 1945 my son was five and I was wondering: are there books that are just right for children? Books they really like? How can we make the reader the real ‘main character’ in the book? I tried making a few and children still like these books a lot today. I get wonderful letters”.

Following the tradition of the historical collection “Tantibambini” edited by Bruno Munari for Einaudi from 1972 to 1978, the books in Collection “22” do not have hardcovers. They are all the same size (22 x 22 cm, which gives the series its name) and have the same binding (metallic staple). The simple text is accompanied by quality graphics, which vary according to the personal style of the author. As Munari said: “Stories told more in pictures and colours than in words. Stories that are so simple even adults can understand them”. collection – 22 – Andy Goodman BUS STO P ISBN: 978-88-7570-339-4 My AUnt hAD OnE BUt ShE GAvE It AWAy dimension: cm 22 x 22 B93 binding: metallic staple pages: 32 languages: available in English and Italian Aunt Mable has recently passed away and her nephew is wondering what wonderful treasures she’s left him in the attic.

After the first edition about “Nature Through Artifice”, the natural continuation of the “open” project IN Residence is dedicated to matter and its use, features and difficulties: “Matter Matters”. After the first edition on the theme “Nature Through Artifice” and the second entitled “Matter Matters”, the attention of the IN Residence project is now focusing on the concept of “transformation” and the many ways it can be “visualized”. The IN Residence project has now reached its fourth edition. This time the theme is “Sense Memory” and it concerns interaction between memory and the senses, between remembering and perceptual-emotional stimuli. price: € 16 price: € 16 languages: English and Italian texts price: € 16 price: € 16 texts binding: bodonian languages: English and Italian texts languages: English and Italian texts languages: English and Italian pages: 112 dimension: cm 16.7 x 23.6 ISBN: D59 DIAry #1 - nAtUrE thrOUGh ArtIFICE In rESIDEnCE #1 Barbara Brondi, Marco Rainò binding: bodonian pages: 160 dimension: cm 17 x24 ISBN: D59 DIAry #2 - MAttEr MAttErS In rESIDEnCE #2 Barbara Brondi, Marco Rainò binding: bodonian pages: 160 dimension: cm 16.7 x 23.6 D59 ISBN: 978-88-7570-295-3 trAnSFOrMAtIOn DIAry #3 - vISUALIZInG In rESIDEnCE #3 Barbara Brondi, Marco Rainò binding: bodonian pages: 160 dimension: cm 16.7 x 23.6 ISBN: D97 DIAry #4 - SEnSE MEMOry In rESIDEnCE #4 Barbara Brondi, Marco Rainò In Residence DESIGn DESIGnEr A cura di Beppe Finessi ISBN: OSPItI InASPEttAtI dimension: cm 20 x 30 FC69 Marcello Ziliani ISBN: 978-88-7570-243-4 yEStErDAy’S hOUSES, tODAy’S DESIGn pages: 160 binding: hardback languages: Italian and English texts price: € 28 Yesterday historical houses dialogue with contemporary design: light and surprising conversations between environments, arts, craftsmanships of the past and a collection of more than two hundred objects designed in the last ten years by some of the protagonists of international design.

A homage to creative Italian graphics, it illustrates some of the most exciting events, people and phenomena to have accompanied and supported Italian cultural, social economic and political progress, highlighting features that still remain relatively unknown outside the specialist communities. Starting from the background, cultural roots and key moments of Italian graphic design, the book analyses its history and evolution, with a broad variety of works ranging from writing to projects hinging around the theme of space and time. By connecting past and present it gives us an insight into some of the visuals nowadays commonly found in everyday life. The book is edited by Giorgio Camuffo, Mario Piazza and Carlo Vinti, with graphics by LeftLoft. 59 60 SPrEAD DESIGn AA.

These are just some of the things you can make with the box brackets and curly brackets, apostrophes, lower and upper case letters that make up the wide range of typography available to us through the world of graphics. “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog” is the most famous pangram in English, that is the most short sentence in which all the 26 letters of the alphabet are used.

As always Inventario directs the flow of objects and thoughts through a number of regular columns: “boxes” that contain expressly sought out and logically ordered contents. Full speed ahead in the new issue of INVENTARIO the investigation continues into creation and cultivation of the project. As indicated in the sub-heading “Tutto è Progetto” (Everything is a Project) the, generally separate, disciplines of architecture, design and art, combined with real everyday life, interact freely with one another. Investigation goes on full steam ahead into the creative process and the concept of project in the latest issue of INVENTARIO. This time the Mask takes pride of place on the front cover, while inside the disciplines of architecture, design and art communicate in a dialogue with everyday life.

From the Greek classics to Giordano Bruno, Vladimir Nabokov and Jean-Luc Lagarce, his passion in the theatre cannot be simply labelled as “method”. The book examines Luca Ronconi’s approach to texts and contexts which ponder “questions about what happens around us and what the theatre can do” (Sergio Escobar). 78 True beauty lies in the design and process that leads matter to become a work of art. Before the final gesture that at last makes it a “work”, its beauty is contained in the invisible layers of thought and enthusiasm that lie beneath the surface of the finished object – from choice of materials to precision of execution. This invariable element applies as much to a work of art as to a unique and exclusive piece of clothing resulting from a deliberate fusion of craftsmanship and contemporariness. 79 C I N E M A &F O T O G R A F I A Fondazione Studio Marangoni PhOtOGrAPhy SChOOL CF01 A CELEStIAL BAthrOOM ISBN: 978-88-7570-248-9 dimension: cm 21 x 21 Curated by Francesca Molteni pages: 56 FC70 binding: hardbound, cloth coated cover languages: English and Italian texts ISBN: price: € 18 978-88-7570-337-0 dimension: cm 16,7 x 23,5 pages: 96 binding: paperback languages: Italian and English texts A project to approach both movie icons’ and stars’ beauty: a homage to the female form and to the rite that has celebrated its beauty from time immemorial, bathing. price: € 16 Massimiliano Tappari ISBN: OOOh! dimension: cm 15 x 15 978-88-7570-157-4 InvEntOry OF PhOtOGrAPhy pages: 144 To mark the 20th anniversary of Florence's Fondazione Studio Marangoni, Scuola di fotografia (School of photography) is a collection of twenty projects by its students, from 1991 to the present.

The richly decorated and highly symbolic objects collected here were on display in the exhibition of the same name, held at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin. The pieces are on loan from private collections including that of American photographer Nan Goldin, whose unpublished photographs taken especially for the exhibition are contained in the catalogue. Despite the humble materials from which they are made paperoles are works of art which illustrate stories of convents, saints and relics, the history of the Church and its arts from the 17th to the 19th century in Italy, France and Germany.

Its aim was to forge a link between contemporary art, young artists and the outsider art from the Atelier di Pittura Adriano e Michele, a workshop which was started in 1996 at the psychiatric hospital Fatebenefratelli in San Colombano al Lambro, (MI). Acrobazie aims to move art from the city centre to the suburbs and create a positive attitude toward the psychiatric hospital, usually surrounded by social and cultural prejudice. Since 2004 the Atelier di pittura Adriano e Michele at the Centro di riabilitazione psichiatrica (Centre for psychiatric rehabilitation) Fatebenefratelli in San Colombano al Lambro holds an exhibition called Acrobazie, which every year hosts an artist of international repute.
