One drawing, one place
Elio Marchetti, the magazine's illustrations director, draws the covers and the illustrations and checks every photograph before it runs. Now and then he writes about one drawing: what is in it, what was left out, and the place behind it.
Elio runs Amorielli's picture desk. He draws the magazine's illustrations and cover art, checks every photograph before it runs, and keeps the register of who made each image and under what licence. Now and then he writes The Sketchbook, a short column about one drawing and the place behind it. A good picture, in his view, should make you want to book the flight.
