Una casa, la mia casa

Two walls and a roof as a shelter.A home warms the hearts of the ones that live in it and shelters when it rains; it’s the place where one happily returns and where one feels “at home”.

Alessandro Sanna’s book re-creates the same atmosphere of warmth and serenity of being at home. Its shape, essential but immediate, appears in each page as starting point of a series of variations suggested by the image and imagination. The constant black image of home is “fulfilled” by the red illustrations, that create many possible illustrations: "home" turns into a "coffee-maker", or maybe some "trees" or eventually a "kite"...

Written and drawn in the aftermath of the earthquake in Abruzzo, A home, my home - now available again fifteen years after the first edition - is a poem dedicated to all the children of the world who have lost their homes.
