When I talked about Arthur Rackham, quite some weeks ago it seems, I mentioned that two themes might have been worthy of a separate discussion: his love for twisty trees and his portrayal of water-nymphs, mermaids, water-maidens such as Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Floßhilde and my personal favourite: Undine. So this Sunday I step out of […]
Hey there, people, it’s almost spring, and this week I was in class! As you know, I have been diligently avoiding in-person teaching, unless it was absolutely necessary (which often istn’t). I firmly believe it would have been our respinsibility to minimize contacts so that what’s really necessary can go on, and it’s necessary for […]
La “pillola” di oggi riguarda il concetto di programma all’interno di un piano di innovazione aziendale.

You’ll take a small team, clear the schedule for a week, and rapidly […]
During the 1960s, around twenty years after building concepts and characters for what had become the Toad segment in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr._Toad, at Walt Disney Studios they started working on two stories that are weirdly connected to The Wind in the Willows: the play Chantecler by Edmond Rostand, which was supposed to […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! For those of you who are thinking that I’m going to do all of them, hold your horses and be realistic: there’s a shitload of them and not all of them are worthy of an article, but some of them are really something worth exploring and “The Witches Frolic” is one of […]
As I was saying, Saturday is the peak of our Carnival, here in Milan, so I’ve decided to bring you a miscellaneous of illustrations, costume, masks and everything that makes this celebration so special. In every other region, Carnival starts tomorrow: I hope I was able to bring you in the mood, even if this […]
I’m sure you were expecting a Fairy Friday, so I thought I would surprise you. Especially since I might have given you the impression that i don’t like frogs, given the way I talked about poor silly Toad of Toad Hall in my Wind in the Willows series and I wouldn’t want Kermit to feel […]
