A Tale of Two Agents: Chapter Forty-Nine. Here's our Italian wrap
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
Viva l’Italia! We just cannot get enough of this beautiful country where we are fortunate enough to be every Spring for the Bologna Children's Book Fair.
This 62nd edition - theirs not ours! - brought over 33,000 trade visitors and 1,500 exhibitors from 90 countries and regions around the world. We had over 60 meetings in three days and brought the excitement of the Fair back with us to finalize deals including those secured below.
1) Left to right: Valentina, Allison and Monica enjoying life in the fast lane at Modena’s Ferrari Museum. 2) Our own little red engine that could: calm before the storm. 3) De Agostini editors are super excited about their Italian The Book of Azreal edition.
