Giulia Neri
Giulia Neri worked as a psychologist for many years, but then realised that her true passion was illustrating human feelings and emotions rather than analysing them.
Since then, she has devoted herself entirely to her illustrations. Today, she is a conceptual artist who lives and works in a small village in the Italian Dolomites.

About the workshop
A few steps off Corso Lodi in Milan, a stationery and print shop has been open since 1909. Costante and Luigia Bonvini founded it as the neighbourhood's place for paper and ink. More than a century later, the original presses still run.
In 2014, a group of friends rescued the shop from disappearing, restoring it with architects who specialise in cultural heritage. The machines - a 19th-century platen press, an Imperial Cylinder Press, a Heidelberg Stella - were returned to working order.
Bonvini 1909 is now part print shop, part gallery, part cultural institution. Every piece carries the particular character that only a hand-fed press can produce - the slight variation, the impression in the paper, the evidence of a human hand.
