Laura Pezzino - L'Autunno di Tove Jansoon

Tove Jansson, Finland's most loved and read writer, confined to her art - illustrations and comics, but also novels and short stories – the feelings that scared her the most: melancholy, loss, change and loneliness. And it has built new physical and imaginary worlds, such as the Mimums, the atypical family of white trolls whose magical, bizarre and somewhat bittersweet adventures have accompanied the growth of thousands of children around the world.

Together with Laura Pezzino, author of the biography Working and loving. Loving and working (Electa), we will also explore the more nostalgic and autumnal sides of what has been, for many, a creature of summer, sunny and full of grace.
