A black-and-white ink drawing in the style of Franco-Belgian comics, inspired by artists like François Walthéry, André Franquin, and Peyo. The setting is the iconic city of Como, Italy, bustling with energy at the End-of-Summer Book Fair taking place from August 24 to September 8. The illustration captures lively scenes of the book fair with numerous stands under tents, each filled with stacks of books and animated patrons eagerly browsing amidst laughter and conversation. In the background, a classic Italian piazza with historic architecture and the serene waters of Lake Como can be seen, providing a picturesque setting. Expressive characters with dynamic poses fill the scene—children holding balloons, elderly folks engaged in enthusiastic book discussions, and couples romantically strolling, all with expressive facial features. To one side, a charming outdoor film screening at the Astra theater is depicted, with people casually seated and watching intently. The whole image extends to cover a 16:9-widescreen canvas with a clean, white background. Clean and bold lines with strong black ink defined contours and shading to add depth and texture.
