Grandvaux is a little village surrounded by the grapevines overlooking Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, just down the hill from the last residence of Hugo Pratt. Not far from our headquarters in Grandvaux, there stands a statue of Corto Maltese, created by one of the great friends of Pratt, Livio Benedetti. Corto’s cape is flowing in the wind, and as always, he is gazing beyond the present time, the present place.
