[Residence]
Book launch and presentation
In the autumn of 2024, the Bottega Tommaso residency will host a publishing project dedicated to the history of the town of Canicattini Bagni.
In partnership with the publishing house Distance Press, six authors and illustrators have been invited to explore the anecdotes surrounding this village, particularly those related to the famous Ponte di Sant’Alfano. This medieval bridge has become a local symbol and the source of numerous myths, which the artists will freely reinterpret on paper.
The work created during this residency will be published in a book set for release in 2025 by Distance Press.
