A visit to Riccardo Dalisi’s studio – its rooms packed with charismatic prototypes, works in progress and roll upon roll of Dalisi’s paintings and illustrations (the artist uses only recycled paper) – is a wonderful experience. The gentle maestro offers free three-, four- or five-day workshops (book a week ahead), though note that he does not speak English. While all visitors are welcome, don’t forget to call ahead and book a time with Dalisi’s assistant, Carla Rabuffetti, first.
