THE WORKS. The cartoons are different for techniques, from china to software, for stylistic choices, from stylized strokes in rapid bursts of color, to real “tableaux vivants”, and various are also the messages that they want to communicate, always through the game of irony. The theme “Genoese Pesto” has given way, in particular for foreign illustrators, to deepen their knowledge of the city of Genoa through its popular sauce, while the theme “Food” aroused strong social reflections in the cartoonists.
