Travelling with
Hugo Pratt

Hugo Pratt

Pratt travelled greatly throughout his lifetime, and he read even more. His stories blend real experiences, always blurring the line between fantasy and references to an ever-changing reality. He frequented writers, guerrillas, actors, singers and bandits, some of whom can be recognised in his comics, whilst others will remain forever hidden between the folds of pages that only he could see.

Il desiderio di essere inutile

Imagine you have been dreaming of America for five years. Not a specific place. No. You have dreamt of America as a name, a situation, a drug, a postponement, an expansion, a beginning, an El Dorado, an adventure, a fuck or an escape.
