'Alberi Alberi Alberi' is an artist's book created in 2022 in collaboration with the Luisa Rognoni Apedistri.

'Alberi Alberi Alberi' is a dreamy and playful narrative: a family of architects founds AAA, a utopian city untouched by time and death. When Lady Death intervenes, the community responds by transforming death into a conscious artistic act. Through art, creativity, and collective imagination, the community reclaims control over mortality, ultimately transforming even Lady Death herself.

The book’s images consist of 11 engravings on MDF wood and linoleum blocks, printed by me on Canson paper and hand-colored by Luisa Rognoni Apedistri using pigments, powders, and powder puffs.

The printing process unfolded over several years, alternating white prints, hand coloring, and reprinting in black with precise alignment. The text is printed on Burgo Usomano paper and the linocuts are applied directly to the same sheets.

The text printing was carried out in Genoa by Centro Stampe Melegari, and the book was hand-bound in Genoa by master bookbinder Massimo Pignone.

The book measures 30.5 × 22 cm and is housed in a handmade Rex box measuring 32.5 × 23.5 × 2 cm. It is a limited edition of 10 numbered copies and 3 artist’s proofs. Each copy is signed by the artist and the printer.
