The author Stella Cervasio
Stella Cervasio, journalist and author, wrote "Gattofollia" between Capri and New York. A graduate of Apuleius's Latin, she lives with several cats but isn't sure she knows them all well. Her published books include "The Mystery of Eternal Fire" (Colonnese), "365" (Il Filo di Partenope), "Grand Central Dream" (D'Amato), and "Notebook from the Seraglio. In the Labyrinth of the Albergo dei Poveri" (Langella).
The illustrator Valeria Pascale
Valeria Pascale, author of the colorful original illustrations for "Gattofollia," works in her art studio, "La testa tra le nuvole." Here, she has created numerous sculptures of genies, jokers, Pulcinellas, Pinocchios, and other fairy-tale characters, including mythological creatures that are half-animal and half-human. Her small works, mounted on metal cores and bases or in boxes lined with recycled materials (fabric, lace, brocade), are primarily made of paper.
