Le Galline Pensierose by Luigi Malerba

The aim of my final Bachelor's Degree project was to create a visual book able to give an additional value to publications assigned to each student. The intent was to find, through the steps of reading and text analysis,
the most effective tricks to get the message's original significance without affecting genuineness and thereby enhancing the reader's experience.The text object of this reinterpretation is Le Galline Pensierose, a children's book written in 1980 by Luigi Malerba, pseudonym of Luigi Bonardi, and consists of 155 nonsense little stories.
Below is the research thesis I made to explain my symbolic, metaphorical, structural and aesthetic choices.

The script, apart from biographical and historical contents, includes focuses on medieval bestiary, typewriter art
and information design.
In the next weeks I’ll also upload the other half of the project which is the actual redesign of Le Galline Pensierose.
