Le immagini della fantasia 32, Sàrmede (TV), Casa della fantasia, 26.10.2014 > 18.01.2015



On October 25th 2014 the 32nd edition of Le immagini della fantasia was inaugurated in Sàrmede (Treviso). The exhibition has always offered a public of enthusiasts and professionals, both young and old, a broad glimpse of the world of children’s illustration, displaying outstanding examples of artistic expression in terms of aesthetic innovation and narrative wealth. Each year La Casa della Fantasia plays host to hundreds of illustrators, authors, publishers and books representing the many aspects of this extraordinary international panorama and confirming the value of the illustrated book as a tool for knowledge and a means of conveying beauty. Extensive research and intense discussion with the sector also give rise to additional display sections, used by the numerous educational programmes to find out How a book is created, meet a Guest of honour and discover Tales from all over the World; so that readers young and old can set off from Sàrmede on other adventures, from book to book. The promotion of passion for illustration and reading, addressing an ever-wider public, is one of the exhibition’s objectives as it journeys tirelessly on. Setting off from the historic first leg of the exhibition in Sàrmede, Le immagini della fantasia has been presented in Venice, Madrid, Aix-en-Provence, Genoa, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Ljubljana, Bratislava, Lisbon, Salzburg, Seville, Vienna, Istanbul, Stuttgart, Naples, Monza, Siena, Rome, Verona, Florence, Munich, Milan, Vicenza, Honfleur, Sarasota (USA) and Edinburgh.
