Natalie Rudd's 'L'autoritratto' (24 ORE Cultura, €14.90) delves into the history of self-portraiture. Olschki has released a collection of letters between Alessandro Bonsanti and Carlo Emilio Gadda (1930-1970), edited by Roberta Colbertaldo, priced at €35. Maura Tacchinardi's 'Qual è il tuo segreto?_ in quarantena' reflects on a relational project during Milan's lockdown. Mauro Boscarol's 'Storia del colore da Pitagora a Newton' (Tarka edizioni, €24) examines color theories, while Andrea Concas's 'Frida Kahlo' (Mondadori Electa, €9.90) offers an interactive ChatBOT experience.
