Barbara Vagnozzi was born by the sea, on the Ligurian Riviera, and now lives in an ancient house on the hills just outside Bologna in Italy, with her English husband, two boys, and two happy Labradors. As far as she remembers she’s always had a pencil in her hands or behind her right ear. After a degree in Modern History and a specialization in Medieval Archeology she decided to become a professional illustrator. She’s never stopped being enthusiastic about her job, and every new project brings the opportunity for further experimentation and fun.
