Alberto Casiraghi

The founder of the PulcinoElefante Press, Casiraghi letterpress prints small editions of books in collaboration with individual artists ( sample). He has also published several collections of poetry (In the Close Distance; The Cherries are Distracted; Poetry of the Reserve). Among his books are Ordinary Reliquaries and In the Whale Fields in collaboration with Antonio Papaglia.

He has produced a prodigious number of editions. The catalog of his books published by Vanni Scheiwiller in 1997 includes his first 1743 books.
