Gianfranco Meggiato's First Children's Book 'Le meraviglie invisibili' Published

Venetian sculptor Gianfranco Meggiato (born 1963 in the Lagoon) has published his first illustrated children's book, 'Le meraviglie invisibili', with Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori. Written by Elisa Spinello and illustrated by Daria Gemma, the book invites young readers to explore how images and artworks are perceived, blending practical and cognitive approaches. Meggiato, known for his mythological and spiritual sculptures recently exhibited at the Valle dei Templi in Agrigento, as well as in Padua and Rome, emphasizes responsibility and the impact of one's actions. The book follows Gianfranco as a child, curious and timid, learning through nature, falls, and emotional growth. Meggiato positions the project as a challenge to spectacle-driven culture, prioritizing questions over answers and aiming to form critical consciousness rather than entertain.
