Mario Lattes (1923-2001), a designer, watercolorist, painter and engraver, created all the illustrations in the three volumes of the “Biblioteca” - an anthology of literary and narrative texts for junior high schools -, producing over five hundred drawings, watercolors and mixed techniques on all of the topics of the school program, from poetry to epic, from fairy tales to novels. The works on display - about a hundred illustrations, five paintings and some notebooks - are the result of a wide selection from among the original paintings kept at Lattes & C. Editori and the collection of paintings and engravings of the Bottari Lattes Foundation.
