Maurizio Quarello's Fantastical Bestiary at Rome's Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale
Maurizio Quarello (born Turin, 1974; lives in Macerata) presents a series of pencil drawings inspired by Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero's 1957 "Manual de zoología fantástica." The works, animated in a pop-up style by Luigia Giovannangelo, feature centaurs, horses, and eagles that blend tradition with innovation. Quarello, an internationally renowned illustrator, maintains a strong narrative thread, sculpting details that create visual tension. The exhibition is held at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Rome. The article, by Michele Luca Nero, emphasizes Quarello's deep research and archetypal foundations, distancing his work from superficial fantasy.
