Tra le pagine: a walk inside the books of Beatrice Alemagna

This summer, the Library of Lignano Sabbiadoro will host the exhibition "Between the pages: a walk inside the books of Beatrice Alemagna". She is one of the most prestigious names in the world of children's book illustration, an internationally recognized and award-winning artist, author of over 30 books, many of them published in different countries, translations into 16 languages and exhibitions of her work in Paris, Munich, Stockholm, New York.

The city of Lignano Sabbiadoro, which this year celebrates the 120th anniversary of the foundation of the first bathing establishment, has chosen it for an exhibition of high artistic quality, for the refinement of the style, the beauty of the color combinations and the emotional charge that knows how to convey, and to offer its tourists an initiative of great impact also for the characteristics of the set-up.

It is an exhibition which, with its poetic and illuminating style, is capable of combining the desire for escape and identification of the little ones with a unique artistic peculiarity, appreciated by the sensitive adult public, a lover of art, books and the fascinating world of illustrations. It will be an immersive, visual and sensorial scenographic setup, which will retrace the pages of two splendid stories from the production of Beatrice Alemagna: the enchanting "A day of nothing" (among the ten best illustrated children's books of 2017 according to the New York Times and the New York Public Library, awarded the gold medal for original art by the Society of Illustrators of New York and winner of the English Association Book award in 2018) and the beloved “The wonderful Cicciapelliccia”, both published by Topipittori .
