Artist’s book · Limited edition

A Total Work of Art

Scartelle e Guarattelle is not simply a collector’s item. It is a total work of art, conceived and signed by Master Antonio Nocera as a universe of images, signs and presences that come to life only in the encounter with the collector’s gaze.

This exclusive presentation case contains an intimate dialogue between painting, sculpture and fine literature, created for an audience seeking lasting value and a profound emotional investment in art.

Every element was designed as part of a single visual and symbolic narrative. The Artist’s Book brings visual art together with previously unpublished texts by Maurizio de Giovanni and Diego De Silva, opening new paths of interpretation.
