SYNOPSIS
February 1978. After several months of hard work, celebrations and complaints, the satirical magazine Il Sale suddenly closed down. In a trattoria at Campo de’ Fiori, Pino Zac announced: “the publisher wants rid of me, but you lot have to stay”. But the editorial staff was in no doubt: “it’s us that make the magazine”. Then came the launch of Il Male, a magazine alone in its intent to counter attempts by official media to sanctify Aldo Moro. Pino Zac was not just its editor-in-chief, fresh from Canard Enchaîné, he was also a guiding light, a talent scout inaugurating a new season of Italian satire that has resisted until the present day. Pino Zac was an illustrator born in Trapani and the director of the film The Nonexistent Knight based on the book by Italo Calvino, who chose to settle in Abruzzo, returning to the area whenever work commitments allowed.
February 2014. Everything remains untouched, covered by a silent shroud of dust, at Zac’s homestudio at Fontecchio since he died of a heart attack in 1985, at the age of 55. A perfect metaphor for the shameful neglect of his art.

CURANDERO
Magic, myth, witchcraft, spiritism, and herbal remedies in Baracoa, Cuba

[Book Design, 2016 – Florida (USA)]

Client: Ediciones Nuevos Mundos – The Friendship Association

Job: DESIGNER

It was a real pleasure for me to design the 1st english edition of Curandero book.
Curandero is written by Victor Oscar Perez and illustrated by Mildo Matos.
This book recounts stories and ancecdotes, seemingly fantastic at times, which form part of the local collective imagination of Baracoa, Cuba.
It includes a detailed glossary of common ailments and their cures. This study, the fruit of 30 years of research, is perhaps the only written account of the historical evolution of Baracoan curanderismo from pre-Columbian times to the present.

Quick specs: 88 pages, paperback cover with flaps, 150x210x10 mm

Curandero is finally available on Amazon!
