Massimiliano Tappari, born in 1967 at Chivasso (To), graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera, Milan. He wrote and illustrated books using the photocopies of his home keys and photographing the surface of a coffee maker. He found out that a goose beak is a mini Eiffel Tower and that wash basins make a noise. A space reader, he invents projects to stimulate children to use creativity and grasp the fantastic side of everyday life. He has held amazing workshops in schools, libraries, museums and festivals. He tells strange stories with simple objects through a camera that becomes a microscope.
