The Short Stories host the third edition of the Italian Excellence exhibition initiative, a project to promote illustration for children conceived by the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, which received in the two previous editions widely success worldwide.
The exhibition presents the works of twenty young Italian illustrators, some of them born or working in the Emilia-Romagna Region, who stand out for their ability to make texts dialogue with images in a unique and original form: Giacomo Agnello Modica, Andrea Antinori, Michael Bardeggia, Beatrice Cerocchi, Marianna Coppo, Francesca Corso, Cecilia Ferri, Chiara Ficarelli, Marta Pantaleo, Giulia Pastorino, Irene Penazzi, Alice Piaggio, Camilla Pintonato, Michelangelo Rossato, Veronica Ruffato, Lorenzo Sangió, Francesca Sanna, Luca Tagliafico, Giulia Tomai, Veronica Truttero.
Between books and posters, magazines, networks and self-production, between manual, digital or mixed techniques, the new generation of illustration brings its new and surprising gaze to the universe of children’s publishing at Expo 2020.
Produced in collaboration with ATER Fondazione.
