Black birds fly from a girl’s hair as she sits alone in a field.
Welcome to the dream world of illustrator Nicoletta Ceccoli.
“They are like the dark side of a nursery rhyme, whimsical, tough, disturbing—a dream of lovely things with a hint of darkness.”
Quiet and lonely as a child, Ceccoli grew up in sight of the fairytale medieval towers that grace the coat of arms of her country, the Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino.
Tiny San Marino, the world’s oldest republic, is an hour and a world away from Italy’s Adriatic coast.
Ceccoli was raised in the countryside surrounded by her father’s menagerie of hens, rabbits and turtledoves.
She worked in her father’s woodshop making toys and objects with her hands.
