Alessandro Sanna, an Italian painter and illustrator, is well known internationally for his bright watercolor odysseys and visual reinterpretations of great classics like Don Quixote, Moby Dick, and Pinocchio. Sanna, Italy’s first Children’s Laureate and three-time Italian Premio Andersen winner, frequently captivates young audiences with wordless visual narratives that use bright water-based inks in novel and creative ways. His most recent visual storytelling voyage, In canto (2023), in collaboration with Giusi Quarenghi’s evocative poetry, draws on past works such as Fiume Lento (2013)—a silent, visual historical account of il Po, Italy’s largest river, thereby establishing his definitive status in contemporary Italian children’s literature.

Abstract
Alessandro Sanna, an Italian painter and illustrator, is well known internationally for his bright watercolor odysseys and visual reinterpretations of great classics like Don Quixote, Moby Dick, and Pinocchio. Sanna, Italy’s first Children’s Laureate and three-time Italian Premio Andersen winner, frequently captivates young audiences with wordless visual narratives that use bright water-based inks in novel and creative ways. His most recent visual storytelling voyage, In canto (2023), in collaboration with Giusi Quarenghi’s evocative poetry, draws on past works such as Fiume Lento (2013)—a silent, visual historical account of il Po, Italy’s largest river, thereby establishing his definitive status in contemporary Italian children’s literature.
