Fabio Cesaratto on His Comic Series 'Città Vuota' and Creative Process

On Artribune, Italian cartoonist and painter Fabio Cesaratto shares insights about his comic series 'Città Vuota' (Empty City). The protagonist, Roberto, is a manifestation of Cesaratto's own fears and emotions. Each story unfolds panel by panel in an improvised manner, a process that, while challenging, serves as a preliminary draft for future publications. Cesaratto aims for his comics to be clear and accessible, drawing inspiration from works like 'Piccoli Brividi' (Goosebumps), 'Capitan Mutanda' (Captain Underpants), and 'The Simpsons', along with literary influences such as Hermann Hesse and Jean-Paul Sartre. He earned his Painting degree from Brera Academy and holds qualifications in Modern Literature and Arts Management. His work can be followed on his website.
