THE VOICE OF THE CITY
A city has many stories to tell. But you need to know how to listen.
Hania walks the streets of Naples alongside a black cat: she’s looking for the memories she feels are slipping away. While she walks, she listens to the voice of the city, all the different places warning her and telling her be careful: remembering also means reliving her tragic and unhappy love-story. The Voice of the City is a touching reflection on the meaning of life, but most of all it’s a love letter to the beauty of Naples.

With poems by Silvia Vecchini
Sebastiano puts his life on hold for a whole year to do voluntary civilian service in a small town in Tuscany. It turns out to be a valuable opportunity that gives him the grow and understand himself better.
Coming out of ourselves and listen to others can sometimes be the only way to actually understand ourselves.
Sualzo once again proves to be a “kind” author who never pushes boundaries but still possesses a gift: he can turn everyday moments into something special.

GIÈTZ! GIÈTZ!
Foreword by Paolo Fresu
Afterword by Elisabetta Umilian
A graphic novel about the origins of italian jazz.
It’s 1944, and Italy is in shambles. A trumpet player from Liguria dicovers a new sound he can’t resist: it’s jazz. The American soldiers brought it along during Liberation, and it’s destined to change his life forever.
A journey in comic form, starting from the times right after the Great War, to tell the tale of how Italian jazz was born. It includes contributions from jazz musician Paolo Fresu and music expert Elisabetta Umiliani.
Giètz! is the parable of Italian jazz, come from the outskirts of the boot thanks to bands and “complessi” and that nowadays is one of the most interesting and creative instances of AfroAmerican music. For this we must thank, among many others, the fathers and precursors of the new Italian jazz in the years after the War.

130 yearsafter hisbirth
Buster Keaton was a key figure in the history of silent movies. He became an icon of visual experimentation thanks to his masterful physical performances .
This graphic biography guides us through his extraordinary life : from his childhood in Vaudeville to success, through addiction to alcohol and rehabilitation , to finding well-deserved success in Hollywood . A life poised between extreme happiness and lacerating melancholy , his story is an ode to resilience and to the greatness of his art . Buster addresses current issues as the desire for empathy and understanding, the need for selfaffirmation and social acceptance . This biography teaches us how life often hangs by a thread made of compromises between opposing choices: to survive, we need to find a way to make them coexist within us.
A gripping read that not only celebrates a cinematic icon, but explores the profound contradictions and resilience of an extraordinary man .

Ero catturato dallo sguardo sereno del santo. Non mi resi conto che il suo discorso era velatamente profetico.
maestri che conobbi
particolare nel mio cuore il Maestro
Ma tra i tanti maestri che conobbi occupa un posto particolare nel mio cuore il Maestro Mahasaya.
Solo adesso, mentre scrivo queste parole, comprendo appieno il significato delle frequenti allusioni che faceva, con apparente noncuranza, alla mia missione di portare un giorno in America gli insegnamenti dell’India.
Egli viveva al numero 50 di Amherst Street, casa in cui ero cresciuto i primi anni della mia vita.
Fui abbagliato dalle sembianze angeliche del maestro e iniziai a visitarlo tutti i giorni nel tardo pomeriggio. Un giorno mi disse:
DOMANI ANDIAMO A DAKSHINESWAR, AL TEMPIO DI KALI
Il santo era discepolo di Sri Ramakrishna, un maestro simile al Cristo.
Il mattino seguente prendemmo il battello per compiere il nostro viaggio di sei chilometri sul Gange.
Al tempio di Kali il Maestro era raggiante immerso nell’estasi del suo amore con l’Amata Madre.

DIRT - volume 1
The Sons of Edin
Dirt is a raw, grotesque, dystopian tale, which contains a reflection on memory, human beings and all of us, as people.
“Inside Dirt there’s a bit of everything: it reminds me of The Last of Us, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Billy Bat. The worldbuilding is cool, and inside there is a bit of thriller, road movie, buddy movie. It’s a beautiful story, of those that are a pleasure to read. Rincione is a great artist, a creator and a skillful builder of panels. Each panel looks like a complete painting.”

The Sons of Edin
A cynical and politically incorrect cartoon. A world that wants to take him down. His last chance for redemption.
In 2040, a lethal virus has killed most of the world’s popu lation, turning Earth into a desolate land. In this post-pan demic world, in which all technology that still exists is seen as black magic, Dirt wanders alone. How could he survive? Dirt isn’t human, he is a cartoon. He was created in the 50s by an advertising company who made him a star as the face of a brand of cigarettes.
Dirt is arrogant and ill-tempered, and that’s the reason why he has lost many things in life. So, he now travels in a destroyed world hoping to find his death. Instead, he meets the Sons of Edin, a group of violent wanderers born after the pandemic, and, very unexpectedly, finds a way to move forward…

Dirt is back, more evil and disrespectful than ever, to criticize a society dominated by influencers. The unlikely duo formed by Dirt and the animator Mark Gerber continues their wandering in the desolate post-pandemic land, until they find Skeentopolis, the las human community founded by the famous influencer Darius Skeento. Here, cartoons somehow seem to be thriving. The duo’s destiny seem to change when they find out that the cartoon who rules over the city is Mister Magic, Mark’s first animated creation! Through a battle to the last follower, Dirt will have the chance to show that his show is the “TOP” show, finding once again his well-deserved fame. He might as well find out why his dreams lately have been tormented by a mysterious girl who seems connected to his past…
Dirt’s in prison for trying to overthrow the Skeentopolis utopia and he’s waiting for his last show. If his fate has already been written, why not try to redeem himself and save a little girl?

A woman that has become a symbol
World English, World Spanish, World French, Russian Rights sold:
half of the xix Century, the first woman journalist to deal with the news. A graphic novel telling the story of a woman who became an icon, examined through the juxtaposition with a girl who wants to pursue the same career.
The story, told through her memories, recalls her professional adventures: when she pretended to be crazy and she was interned to carry out an investigation about a mental hospital, or when she solo travelled around the world in 72 days, in a period when such actions were unthinkable for a woman.
Nellie Bly was one of the few journalists who interviewed Belva Ann Lockwood, the first woman nominated to the US presidential elections in 1884. In those years, the first advertising campaigns were born, and many of them used Bly’s face.

A page-turner thriller, both for its rhythm and its beautiful art. Prejudices, a narrow-minded vision of the world and many twists are the successful ingredients of Kraken, winner of several awards in Italy, sold in various countries and soon to be adapted into a movie.
In a village buried among the woods, three women run an organic product farm, but the town is inhabited by hunters who do not look favourably at the activities of the women: too modern, compared to their traditions. The life of the place is marked by activities that are always the same, and the hunting of the wild boars, so densely populated in that area, is the main one. Among the dwellers, the chief hunter Bruno is the one who argues the most about the activity of the company that is so distant from the inhabitants’ habits of the area. The tension becomes more acute when some thefts start to occur, and the hunters immediately find their culprit: they are convinced the migrants did them. Everything that looks different from the common daily routine seems like a threat, and the migrants are seen by hunters as invaders; meanwhile, the real invaders are actually the boars, more and more numerous in the forest area.
Posso fumare?
Sarebbe meglio di no.
So che la caccia è legata spesso a storie rovinose. Orione, il cacciatore, finisce ucciso dalla Dea della caccia, per esempio.
Forse l’uomo non è nato cacciatore, ma io sì, sapete?
I miei nonni erano cacciatori, così come mio padre e i padri dei miei amici. Tutti quelli che conoscevo da piccolo e che conosco anche adesso lo sono.
Ho sempre ascoltato storie di caccia, guardato documentari e letto riviste e libri che parlavano di caccia. So tutto sulla caccia.
C’è differenza tra le due cose.
Solo che non siamo qui per parlare di caccia, ma di un omicidio.
Il cacciatore finisce spesso per essere cacciato.
Tutto molto interessante, davvero.

The strong bond between Walt and his brother Roy Oliver, par tners in business adventures, told as a useful historical excursus which covers the steps of the Disney studio and its success in the history of cinema. Everything is supervised by Roy, a person incredibly shy and deliberately distant from the spotlight, but at the same time a faultless businessman, able to run a vast number of employees and establish connections with the most impor tant people of that period, from Howard Hughes to the Bank of America, to Benito Mussolini, as well.
