Down in the Valley 4 - FROM TABLE 4
Author cartoonist
A founding scene: the characters choose the periphery over the center, the shack over the village. Ferraris depicts belonging to a place as a voluntary act — you are not born into a place, you build yourself into it.

Tre cose che (forse) non sapete su di me
- 01 As a kid, I broke my arm badly playing football. The bone snapped in half, my arm dangling at a right angle. I left the hospital with a bandage over my eye and my arm in a sling. My spirits were at rock bottom.
- 02 The first sign that my career would be in publishing came from a small publisher in Marseille who published pornographic comics. Since there was no internet, I went looking for references in suburban newsstands, with fake moustaches and dark glasses.
- 03 At 18, to celebrate my diploma, I left for Ireland. We spent a few days drinking beer, sleeping in the car, and bailing water out of the tent. But what really mattered was that we had managed to put our lives on the road.
« "I can't be objective. Monferrato was the stage of my childhood. A fortunate and carefree childhood of summer holidays. I was happy among its soft hills, combed by rows of Barbera and Grignolino vines. Now that I've grown up, cultivating a restless spirit, constantly on the move, it's here in Monferrato that I like to return. To feel at home." »
