Join for a very special evening of live painting and live music with Alessandro Sanna!
Alessandro Sanna is considered to be one of Italy’s leading contemporary illustrators and has illustrated over seventy titles for children and adults. In dedication to the children who lost their home to the earthquake in Abruzzo he created the story, Una casa, la mia casa (A home, my home, 2009), which is a series of illustrations around three lines – two walls and a roof – the basic shape of a home.
In 2009 he won the Premio Rigamonti and the Premio Andersen – Il mondo dell’infanzia as best illustrator of the year. Alessandro Sanna has a poetic and evocative style, perhaps best seen in his work Fiume Lento (The River, 2013) that charts the river Po through the seasons.
