To Farfilò in Verona to tell our story, taking our cue from Passato & Presente

The slim chocolate-pink book by Orith Kolodny will take centre stage at an afternoon workshop aimed at children, who will be asked to identify certain objects, relate them to each other, and—why not?—imagine how they might develop in the future.

But grown-ups will also have the chance to be involved in a wide-ranging inquiry into how art books can become a useful (and perhaps necessary) instrument in communicating with younger generations.

Our publisher, Eric Ghysels, is pleased to join Orith Kolodny and Valentina De Pasca in paying a visit to Verona as guests of the bookseller Lucia Cipriani, who runs Farfilò, and of the town’s readers’ club.
