Mormolice – La bestia nel bosco addormentato

In the secret memories of the past, songs of witches tell of a Prince who trapped a wolf and fell in love with it.

A gothic fairy tale. The impossible love story between a lonely prince and a wolf-maiden who came from the wood. The fifteen illustrated tables interact with a short, intense and lyrical text. A fairy tale without a happy ending, but which leads us back to where the human ends and the mystery of wild nature begins. Illustrations and text by the author, with reproductions from graphite originals on paper and digital coloring.


Lisinka, per century Elisabetta Fantini, is a illustrator and painter born in Rome to an Italian father and a Russian mother, she lives and works between the capital and Bologna. «Forged» by Russian fairy tales heard by the voice of her mother, originally from Ekaterinburg, in the eastern Ural region, all her art is pervaded by them, in a continuous stylistic research that ranges from drawing to digital experimentation.
