The play of imagination in the structure of a pop-up book where painting and drawing take on three-dimensionality through a mechanism that Tommaso himself describes as: “Looking at an illuminated codex the eye falls on the paintings. As a layman, the text in gothic characters appears like an incomprehensible grid, a kind of void in the middle of the page. I have therefore imagined a book that is not written, with a real central hole to be filled with a story conceived and reinvented by the reader. The plot is inspired by the “miniatures” that comment on it. The pages can be opened up into various combinations to enable the outcome of the story and allow rediscovering the flavour of a forgotten day of very many years ago”.
