In the typical fashion of author Luigi Serafini, Pulcinellopaedia Seraphiniana is created in a unique language all its own, and is filled with fascinating and mysterious illustrations that require thorough examination and inference to decipher what the artist is intending to portray. Written by Serafini s imaginative coauthor and alter ego C. Petrulo, who represents Pulcinella himself, the book artfully presents the struggles of a rebellious antihero who must come to grips with the difficulties of everyday life. First published in 1984 and since revised by the author, this volume is an exquisite treasure that has intrigued readers for more than thirty years.
Designed as a handsome companion volume ready to take its place alongside the bestselling Codex Seraphinianus, the Pulcinellopaedia is akin to a missing chapter or coda to the Codex that no fan of Luigi Serafini s work will want to miss.
About the Author
Luigi Serafini was born in Rome and earned a degree in architecture in 1977, taking part in exhi- bitions by Gruppo Memphis, headed by Ettore Sottsass. He has worked as an architect, cerami- cist, glassmaker, opera director, set designer, and critic. He is best known for the cult classic book Codex Seraphinianus, also available from Rizzoli.
Industry Reviews
—Publishers Weekly
"It’s a very different experience from “reading” the Codex and one where the physical medium of the paper book itself is put to essential use. Me, I love the thing and have been looking at it almost nonstop since they sent me the review copy"
