The graphics so scrupulously designed and carried out by Gianni give the tale a further note of completion and editorial thoroughness which truly grant the reader the impression of having a book to leaf through, to read, to close and begin once again as if it were an authentic text in one's personal library. The text also contains an index and illustrations to be consulted and admired. In truth, we confess to having done our best to offer you further testimony of our commitment yet at the same time our heartfelt hope is that this work will give the readers as much affection as it did us.
