It is set in two different times: Chicago in the 1950s and Arizona in 2019.
The starting point of the design was the desert painting. In fact, I did it in a way that simulates the technic and texture of the paint and, to make it more real, I also added some brushes on the side, as if they were placed on the book itself.
As the artistic theme is a central point of the story, I gathered in this painting several “key details” that are quite important to the plot. The elements at the top of the cover make reference to Italian food, one of the “unexpected” and funny aspects in the story.
The Chicago painting is presented as a symbolic representation of the past: the old photograph that brings the memories of the 1950s. It is a detail of a real painting created by Anne Marie Cina, who granted permission to the author to include it on the back cover.")

The story is about the intriguing influence that a small town in southwestern Italy has on four vacationing Americans.
My starting point was the map of Italy, used as a background where all the other “objects” are placed. The most challenging part of this decision was determining where each detail should appear, to keep the three most important locations visible: Venice, Rome and Ricigliano. The idea of the little pin flags to mark them made the design more real, but also clearer.
In addition to an image where the four characters are presented on a canvas, one of the requirements was to include the painting of “Fumo”, a Lucanian goat. In order to accurately represent this unique character, I did research on this specific breed.
The main image on the back is a detail of a real painting created by Anne Marie Cina, who granted permission to the author to include it on the cover.")

The request was to create a design with an atmosphere of mystery, but also with a sense of spirituality.
A realistic, serene valley at sunset with rolling hills and a quaint small town with a chapel were the more important elements, as well as a pathway symbolizing the journey to uncover secrets.
Having these details in mind, I decided to keep the path in the foreground, along with a large tree that frames the entire scene. This allowed me to include the small town on the horizon, closer to the warm light of the sun.
A subtle placement of an old vintage personal journal was also one of the authors' requests, which helped to add another element of mystery to the cover.
This design was a layout proposal and was never published.")
