The Storiella Bonsai Salon stems from a publishing project by DJ and producer Max Nocco, published by Officine Ergot. Max chooses the form of the sketch – the very short story – to share his thoughts on some of his passions and some of his extraordinary friendships, all captured on that higher plane of reality where every megalomaniac lives. Max invites us to touch the mystery, to smell it, to taste it, to see it, to hear it. The illustrations of the musicians’ faces and stories are brought to life by Massimo Pasca’s marker pen. Enjoy your journey into a world that appears as small as a bonsai yet encompasses the very scale of the universe itself.
The Sala Nuvole is hosting an exhibition featuring a selection of thirty illustrations taken from the first and second volumes of *Storiella Bonsai*, portraits set to music. On these Sundays of musical aperitifs, on the terraces of one of Puglia’s most beautiful castles, you can choose your favourite musician, lose yourself in the meticulous details of the beautiful black-and-white illustrations, savour short excerpts from the stories and, if you fancy a bite to eat, you can purchase the latest volume of the book featuring 69 new musical portraits.
