La Donna della Civera Drawing

On the shores of Lake Como, there is a jewel called Nesso, with countless treasures hidden at plain sight. One of them is the Ponte della Civera, a medieval construction that joins the two parts of the town separated by its famous Orrido. From this bridge, Leonardo da Vinci wrote in his Atlantic Code "Nesso, a land where a river falls with a great rush, through an enormous crack in the mountain" In the year 1999, a talented artist captured its essence in a magical painting. That painting became a lighthouse, a compass that led us, 20 years later, to that town, to that bridge, to that perfect afternoon. And there, the daughter of that artist sat down with a coffee and a good book, to get lost in that corner of the world and in the brushstrokes of that artwork. With this illustration, I wanted to reproduce the mystique of that unique moment, on the Ponte della Civera, a passage between the two ends of a city, which became a bridge to connect much more.
