Valerio Vidali III

I found Gianni Rodari's 'Novelle Fatte a Macchina' with illustrations by Valerio Vidali at the Mambo book shop. I love Valerio's illustrations and in this novel, I really liked her use of crumpled paper for the crushed car and her use of quite large black shapes in her compositions is interesting in that it both anchors the pictures and creates an unsettling element.

Massimiliano di Lauro

These are the works of Massimiliano di Lauro for another edition of the wonderful; 'Encyclopedia of Gianni Rodari' published by Editori Riuniti in 2013, each book comprises of seven of Gianni Rodari's fables illustrated be a different illustrator.

Irene Rinaldi is an illustrator based in Rome who specialises in woodcut and hand made printing techniques. I found her work when I arrived in Bologna on Friday in a book called; 'Favole per bambini mannari'  published by Editori Riuniti.
