Mirella Mariani

She was born in a small town near Milan, where she still lives with her two children, a cat, and a turtle. As a child, she loved reading, drawing, and being outdoors: she still does today! She has worked as a book and comic book illustrator for many years, collaborating with Italian and international publishers: she has illustrated over 100 books! She loves being with children and young people, which is why she collaborates with schools and associations, teaching drawing and comics courses. Her first job as an illustrator was a textbook written by her elementary school teacher: it brought her so much luck!
