From the Polo candy ‘the mint with the hole’, to ‘Boom! Sting! Fzzzz!’ from Selz Soda to the unmistakable design of Rossana with its transparent paper, Olimpia Zagnoli gives us a personal archive of Italian candies. A gallery of graphics and memories where we can lose ourselves in sweetness and nostalgia, and where each page is like a candy to be unwrapped. Collects and expands on Zagnoli's column in Il Sole 24 Ore, but with many more sweets and with all the unpublished illustrations.Olimpia makes us feel the rustle of the paper and the taste as it melts in our mouths, shows us the colours and shapes, invents amusing and bizarre anecdotes and invites us into a world as kaleidoscopic and surprising as her illustrations.And after all, what could possibly unite us more than a piece of candy? We all know that sometimes Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down....A book that collects and expands on the texts published in Olimpia Zagnoli's 2024 column in Il Sole 24 Ore ‘Caramelle non ne voglio più’ (I don't want any more sweets), but with many more sweets and with all the unpublished illustrations.
