Vicolo Sant’Agata, 21 Bergamo Alta
Maurizio Bovarini was a quite extraordinary and highly prolific illustrator. He was also, at least on the surface, indifferent to the myriad tricks of the publishing trade that make it possible for an author or an artist to ensure that their name will go down in history. Since he makes only the rarest of appearances in the canonical history of cartoons and illustration, the task of reconstructing his biography necessitated the collating of information supplied first-hand by his family: his wife Adele and his children, Andrea and Alessandra.
