Partners in life and work, they share a passion for good stories, well told, that go straight to the heart. Comic book enthusiasts will already know them thanks to works such as <em> Breathless </em> & nbsp; (with which they won the prestigious 2013 Orbil Prize) and <em> Maybe love </em> (Tunué) . Here they are, once again, with an important and heartfelt story, which leaves at the end a warm feeling of hope. Their latest work is <a href = "http: // www. / a>, a graphic novel inspired by the earthquake that devastated Central Italy, and which destroyed not only houses and monuments but also everyday life and certainties.

But, to get to know the golden couple of Italian comics better, here are our ten questions! </p> <p> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ProgettoLaZonaRossa/ "> <img class = "aligncenter wp-image-9029 size-full" src = "http: //www.castoro-on- line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/progetto-la-zona-rossa.jpg "alt =" "width =" 1702 "height =" 630 "srcset =" http: //www.castoro-on -line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/progetto-la-zona-rossa.jpg 1702w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ project-la-zona-rossa-300x111.jpg 300w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/progetto-la-zona-rossa-768x284.jpg 768w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/progetto-la-zona-rossa-1024x379.jpg 1024w "sizes =" (max-width: 1702px) 100vw, 1702px "/> </a> </p> <p> <strong> When did you decide you were going to be a writer / illustrator? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> & nbsp; I decided around 30, when my first daughter was born and I thought “I would like her to see her happy father”. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; I decided when I was a girl. Not to be a writer but to have writing for company. I wished that whatever job I had when I grew up would continue to be a part of my life. </p> <p> <strong> How did you feel seeing your first published book? Was it a dream come true? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> It was a bit strange, because even if it is true that I thought late to be an illustrator as a profession, publishing a book with my drawings was a dream I had since I was a child. So maybe it was a dream I didn't remember having coming true. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> I remember that I was at the window for two days waiting for the courier to arrive with the first copies. For sure I must have done something else in those days, but I only remember the window. </p> <p> <strong> Do you have kryptonite in your writing? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> The thought of not having clear enough in detail what I want to draw. When it triggers, I lose whole days behind mostly superfluous documentation. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> The wrong time. When I actually start writing the story it must have been working in my head for some time. Then all of a sudden the substance of which characters are made thickens, converges all in one point as if it were iron filings attracted by a magnet. If I start writing too early, the various fragments scatter and there is nothing you can do to keep them together. Better to take a bike ride. </p> <p> <strong> The three favorite books / authors / illustrators from when you were children and now. </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> Grazia Nidasio, <em> Stefi's diary </em>; Franquin, <em> Gaston Lagaffe </em>; Ibanez, <em> Mortadella and Philemon </em>. Now: Grazia Nidasio remains a beacon along with Christophe Blaine and Dupuy & amp; Berberian. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> As a child I had very few books. Even ugly I would say. At the moment my favorite authors are Guus Kuijer, Ken Haruf, Alice Munro. </p> <p> <strong> The best and worst part of being a writer or illustrator. </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> The best part about being an illustrator is that you don't have fixed working hours. The worst part about being an illustrator is that you don't have fixed working hours. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> To continue reading stories wherever I am and in the most disparate people. Come across data that says we lose lots of young readers by the wayside every day. </p> <p> <img class = "aligncenter wp-image-9020" src = "http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sualzo-vecchini.jpg" alt = "" width = "824" height = "389" srcset = "http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sualzo-vecchini.jpg 5400w, http: // www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sualzo-vecchini-300x142.jpg 300w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017 /10/sualzo-vecchini-768x363.jpg 768w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sualzo-vecchini-1024x484.jpg 1024w "sizes =" (max -width: 824px) 100vw, 824px "/> </p> <p> <strong> As a writer / illustrator, what would you choose as your mascot / avatar / animal spirit? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> & nbsp; I already chose it when I took my stage name. Sualzo is the dialect name with which the fishermen of Trasimeno call the Great Crested Grebe, a bird capable of great apneas and supposed magical gifts. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; My guiding spirit is not an animal but a tree that is constantly changing shape. I always draw trees when I am lost in thought or when I am trying to start writing. Perhaps because you have to root yourself well before climbing up. </p> <p> <strong> Where did you get the idea for this book and what did it teach you? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> & nbsp; Unfortunately the idea for this book only happened to us because of the place we live in. Far enough away from the epicenter not to suffer from physical damage but close enough to see what it means to continue living after an earthquake that took everything away from you. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; The idea came at 7.40 on October 30th when I was alone in the house and books, windows, games, dishes started to move. Outside a noise as dark as that of an approaching storm. But the sky was crystal clear. Being in contact with this story has taught me that it takes great strength to see the world around and inside you fall apart and that it takes even more strength to try to bring them back together one by one. </p> <p> <strong> Tell us three interesting or crazy things about yourself. </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> & nbsp; 1. I can't stop buying ukuleli. One every six months is the least I can handle; 2. If I make you draw a card, I almost always guess which one it is without seeing it; 3. If I had been born a girl I should have called myself Teodora. That would have been the least of the problems, given the long beard I've had for years. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; 1. If I have to take a train (and it happens often) I always put no fewer than three alarm clocks that make everyone who lives with me out of my mind; 2. In the midst of my training, among all the useful languages that I could choose to study, I chose Ugaritic and Akkadian; 3. I trusted the intuition of a 17-year-old and married Sualzo. </p> <p> <img class = "aligncenter wp-image-9022" src = "http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LST_2842-Modifica.jpg" alt = "" width = "520" height = "650" srcset = "http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LST_2842-Modifica.jpg 1520w, http: // www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LST_2842-Modifica-240x300.jpg 240w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017 /10/LST_2842-Modifica-768x960.jpg 768w, http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LST_2842-Modifica-819x1024.jpg 819w "sizes =" (max -width: 520px) 100vw, 520px "/> </p> <p> <strong> If you weren't a writer / illustrator, what would your ideal job be? </strong> <br /> <b> Sualzo: </b> & nbsp; The observer of sunsets. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; The surfer! </p> <p> <strong> Is there anything you want to tell your readers? </strong> <br /> <strong> Sualzo: </strong> & nbsp; Hold on. <br /> <strong> Silvia: </strong> & nbsp; Hi, how are you?

[CDATA [<p> <a href="http://www.castoro-on-line.it/elisa-castiglioni/"> Elisa Castiglioni </a> has always had a great passion for writing. Passion became a job when he started publishing his children's books. With <a href="http://www.castoro-on-line.it/libri/desideria/"> <em> Desideria </em> </a>, Elisa (former author of <a href = "http : //www.castoro-on-line.it/libri/le-stelle-brillano-su-roma/ "> <em> The stars shine on Rome </em> </a> and <a href =" http : //www.castoro-on-line.it/libri/la-ragazza-che-legge-le-nuvole/ "> <em> The girl who reads the clouds </em> </a>) gives us a & # 8217; passionate and sincere heroine, in which girls can easily relate, and dream of experiencing a breathtaking adventure like his. Ask Elisa our ten questions. Here's what we found out! </p> <p> <img class = "wp-image-8736 aligncenter" src = "http://www.castoro-on-line.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/castiglioni-desideria.jpg" alt = "" width = "548" height = "406"> </p> <p> <strong> When did you realize you wanted to be a writer? </strong> <br /> I never wanted to be a writer. I thought of the great novelists and told myself that it would be impossible for me. But I've always wanted to write. And I actually started writing from the moment I learned to write. I finally had a tool to express all the stories I was reading around me. I've always written. Picture books when I was in elementary school. Heartbreaking poems in junior high and high school. Then life took me to America. I couldn't work because I hadn't obtained a visa and had just become a mother. One day browsing a magazine in the supermarket while I was in the checkout line, I found an announcement for a writing class for two-year-olds that could be done online. To be admitted you had to send a story. I wrote one, in English. <p> <strong> What was it like seeing your first published book? Was it a dream come true? </strong> <br /> The publication of a book occurs several months after the acceptance and signing of the contract. When the first copy of <em> The Girl Who Reads the Clouds </em> arrived at my Boston apartment, I felt immense joy. A friend's surprise visit. I leafed through the pages, admired the beautiful illustrations, and fed on that energy to continue dedicating myself to the new writing project I was working on. To feel again that great joy that filled my heart ... Of course you still had to know what the boys thought ... Would they laugh, cry, and fight with Leela? Would they have decided to face their white tiger too? For me, the dream comes true every time one of them says yes. </p> <p> <strong> Where do you find the strength to devote yourself to writing? </strong> <br /> The strength for me is the encounters with the boys. When I meet them, I realize that I have the best job in the world. And I come home with a great desire to write. And then there is my daughter Isabella who instead of asking me how I am, asks me how the writing went, leaves me notes in which she encourages me to write, and drawings in which she sketches the characters, the setting, the symbols of the story. I work at. </p> <p><em> </em> <strong> The three favorite books / authors / illustrators of your childhood and today. </strong> <br /> <em> Little Women </em> by Louisa May Alcott: I grew up with the March sisters. <br /> <em> Little Tree </em> by Forrest Carter: a very intense Bildungsroman. <br /> <em> Star Girl </em> by Jerry Spinelli: a hymn to being yourself and wonderfully different. <br /> For picture books, Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak and Dr Seuss are my favorite authors! </p> <p> <strong> What is the best and worst part of the writing profession? </strong> <br /> The best part is the people you meet. Librarians, booksellers, teachers, publishers, the "book people" who love children and who improve our world, one heart at a time. <br /> The hardest part is the solitude where you work. The long times it takes to do a good job. Always looking inside. Writing makes you live in a more aware and compassionate way. And this is sometimes tiring. </p> <p> <strong> As a writer, which mascot / avatar / animal spirit would you choose? </strong> <br /> I would choose a tree. A wild cherry. Trees are beautiful creatures. They draw nourishment from both the earth and the sky. They remind us to anchor ourselves in reality, but also to keep our eyes fixed on the sky. </p> <p> <strong> Where did you find inspiration for this book? Did he teach you anything? </strong> <br /> I always learn a lot from my characters. Leela taught me to trust my instincts, to always be myself without closing myself off to others. Iris reminded me that we must be warriors and fight for what we believe in with blows of hope and concrete and constant gestures. Desideria inspired me not to be afraid to be other than what others expect of me. The inspiration for the stories I write comes from the encounters I have, from the experiences I live, from inside and outside in that liquid space in which we are. </p> <p> <strong> Tell us three crazy / interesting things about yourself. </strong> <br /> Crazy things I don't know… I think I'm pretty little crazy. <br /> While writing a story (which usually takes a minimum of a year to a good two) I always listen to the same song. It is a ritual that helps me enter history and concentrate. I talk to my characters, but that doesn't matter because there is no author who doesn't. <br /> I collect sea glasses and keep them divided by color: white, blue, blue, green, and some very rare violet. However, I keep only those smooth and smoothed by the waves to the point of looking like sea gems. I throw the others back into the sea. They are not ready yet, but in time they will be. It takes at least a dozen storms to turn a piece of glass into sea glass. & nbsp; <br /> I practice yoga every day and I study Sanskrit. I meditate every evening. I am not religious but spiritual and if I really have to choose a religion I choose Kindness. At least once a week I practice a casual act of kindness, such as paying for coffee to the next stranger who comes into the bar, leaving a book on a bench, or helping in a knowingly kind way. This changes my day and that of those who receive the act of kindness which will then be led to make another one to another stranger, who in turn will perform a kindness towards another person and so on in a crescendo of kindness. Kindness will save the world! </p> <p> <strong> If you hadn't become a writer, what would be your ideal job? </strong> <br /> I love to teach. You become a writer every day. It's something you choose every morning, every time you start writing. You are not a writer because you have written a book, but because you are writing. </p> <p> <strong> Would you like to say something to your readers? </strong> <br /> Write. Read on. Explore life and yourself in books. Dream the life you want for yourself. If you can imagine it, you are already halfway there. </p> <p style = "text-align: center;"> <strong> # 10questions </strong> </p> <p> The article <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.castoro-on-line.it/10-questions-elisa-castiglioni/"> 10 questions to: ELISA CASTIGLIONI </a> seems to be the first on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.castoro-on-line.it"> Editrice il Castoro Srl </a>. </p> ]]> </ content: encoded> </item> <item> <title> Jillian Tamaki </title> <link> http://www.castoro-on-line.it/jillian-tamaki/ </link> <pubDate> Mon, 09 Oct 2017 08:47:54 +0000 </pubDate> <dc: creator> <!
