Alessandro Baronciani's Graphic Novel 'Le ragazze nello studio di Munari' Reissued by BAO Publishing
Alessandro Baronciani's 2010 graphic novel 'Le ragazze nello studio di Munari' has been reissued by BAO Publishing. The story follows Fabio, a used-book collector and fan of Bruno Munari, who reflects on his past relationships. Fabio struggles with commitment, simultaneously dating three women, and finds refuge in films and books by Munari. The novel incorporates references to Truffaut's 'L'uomo che amava le donne', Antonioni's 'Deserto Rosso', and Raphael's 'Lo spazio della vergine'. Baronciani's passion for Munari began in adolescence after reading 'Da lontano era un'isola'.
