Our cities hold unexpected stories, starting from their very walls: a jagged mark becomes an impetuous horse; an hole – if you look carefully – is a puffer fish swimming in the sea; and that scraped plaster looks like volcano smoke, doesn’t it? Two extraordinary artists – Massimiliano Tappari with his elegant black-and-white pictures, and Alessandro Sanna with his beautiful illustrations – lead us along a stunning journey, discovering an everyday life we often don’t pay enough attention to. A wonderful book for all ages, a celebration of the boundless power of imagination.
