The first edition of what is already a classic. 50 illustrations by Paladino, mostly in watercolour and four essays in English giving context to his works. Sergio Risaliti's essay, Art. Dante. Paladino. captures in words what Paladino does when on song - 'he adds fantasy to fantasy' and with Dante as the source, this is a magical combination. Look out for the final panel, the great artist defeated by the beauty of the words - Paladino simply burns a hole in the middle of the paper and scrawls the eternal line, 'L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.' Beautiful.
