Eugenio Carmi. Tre miliardi di zeri-Three billion zeros

"I prefer to describe myself as an 'image-maker'" states Eugenio Carmi (Genoa 1920), one of the most prominent figures of Italian twentieth-century art.
Carmi, with lightness and humor, has always considered his work as the tip of the iceberg of an open-ended artistic practice in connection with the world's multicolored scenarios.
This unique book-portrait opens with the artist giving a rather particular account of his birth; it then narrates half a century of Carmi's incessantly curious artistic course that has always been ahead of the times. His illustrations for Umberto Eco's fairy tales on burning issues, which unfortunately are here to stay, are famous the world over.
