The first pop-up book on Milan, a 3-D guide for children and adults. Milan revealed by the spectacular paper architecture of Dario Cestaro, in a pop-up book that recounts the city's history in simple texts and curious anecdotes. A fascinating journey through colorful pages that turn into Milan's most famous buildings, helping even the youngest of readers to recognize its principal landmarks: the Duomo, with its soaring spires; the Castello Sforzesco, with its imposing battlement walls; the Teatro alla Scala, temple of opera; the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, a medieval treasure chest dedicated to the city's patron saint; the Stazione Centrale, with its daring vaults of iron and glass; and the city's new skyline, redesigned by skyscrapers over 200 meters in height.
Dario Cestaro is a paper engineer and writer of children's books. He has specialized in pop-up books, creating the concept, story, and illustrations as well as handling the technical aspects. His preferred media are watercolor, collage, and computer graphics. He has also had considerable experience as a stage designer.
Franca Lugato has devoted herself for years to the popularization of historical artistic heritage, working with various museums and cultural institutions. In 1996 she founded the ARTEmisia group in Venice, which develops innovative educational approaches for museums.
