To continue with our Milanese theme, We have Bruno Munari's classic children's book 'Nella Nebbia Di Milano' The design of this book is truly masterful, Everything about it is perfect ! From the layout to the colours to the paper it's printed on. My Italian is still not perfect so I have not been able to read the story, but I'm sure that is also great. The beginning and end sections are printed on thick tracing paper on both sides so that you literally discover the images appearing out of the fog. Then you arrive at the grand circus in the centre,where everything is in colour, with various cutout to reveal shapes and colours on other pages. Finally, you disappear off again into 'the fog of Milan'
Genius !
Genius !
