The authors of the books, leading figures of the Italian intelligentia representing painting, music and literature, have personally participated in their volumes making them, therefore, unique exemplars. The volumes have been made using production techniques that recall the great tradition of artistic books.
This evocation of tradition is underlined by the hand-written interventions that the authors have made upon their manuscripts and harmonically embraces the use of new technology (websites, pen drives for listening to music).
