Milo Manara

Milo Manara’s vibrant, sensual style defines the trajectory of his imperative success. After an initial encounter with sculp - ture, the Maestro of Luson (the South Tyrolean village where he was born before moving to Verona) found his ideal medium in graphic novels and female representation, the distinctive hallmark of his creative expression, a universe of strong-willed and ethereal pin-ups. Over his hyperbolic career, he has worked with authors like Federico Fellini and Hugo Pratt, and plunged into the advertising world, revisiting the stars and stripes of Marvel universe heroines and much more. The latest work in this uninterrupted dialogue of the arts is Il nome della rosa (Oblomov, 2023), a two-volume comic book adaptation of Umberto Eco’s eponymous masterpiece. Latest work translated to German: Der Name der Rose (Hanser, 2024).
