Résumé

This is the tale of Luisa Casati Amman, otherwise known as 'The Marchesa', an Italian heiress whose life ambition was to transform herself into a living, breathing work of art. She was obsessed with beauty and extravagance, and devoted her entire family fortune to purchasing the means to astonish her contemporaries with her daredevil style. But her originality extended to more than just the adornment of her own person; she embellished her whole life with a succession of fantastical parties, large houses, ostentatious pets and outrageous public appearances.
But, as ever, such exorbitance can hardly last forever... This intriguing biography traces the rise and fall of one of the 20th century's most fascinating personalities.
Vanna Vinci (Cagliari, 1964) entered the world of comics as an illustrator for the magazine "Fumée d'encre de Chine" in 1990, with two stories about the Naarik mummy. She then published "L'Autre Côté" (compiled in a color album in 1993), and "Double Rêve" in the magazine Nova Express. She also created the series "Regarde cette lune" (compilation published in 1998), written by Giovanni Mattioli, for the mini series "Mondo Naif", published by Star Comics.
In 1996, still with Mattioli, she created "Une maison à Venise" for the Japanese publisher Kodansha, published in Italy in 1999. With Kappa publishing, she released "Ombres" (1997); "Regarde cette lune" (1998, G. Mattioli texts); "Lillian Brown" (2000); "L'Âge sauvage" (2001, still with Mattioli) which won her the Romics Prize in the best European book category; "Voyage Sentimental" (2002) and "Sophia" (2005, also available at Dargaud from August 2008).
In 1998, some episodes of her stories appeared in the Mondo Naif magazine. She also collaborated with the magazine Legs Weaver, illustrating several stories for them. In Linus magazine in 2001 she published "La Petite Fille Philosophe". The same year, for the weekly Iodonna of the Corriere della Sera, she produced the story "Nocturne". Finally, she worked as an illustrator for Fabbri Editori, Mondadori, Il Battello a Vapore, the Italian Association of Libraries and Tam Tam.
In 1999 she won the Yellow Kid prize for best artist.
