      Talvolta, una semplice figura delineata con pochi tratti di penna e pochi aggettivi carismatici sembra un successo quanto mai improbabile, nato da un eccesso di acume ed energia, una sovrabbondanza di amore per un mondo immaginario che si esprime nel desiderio di animare perfino i suoi partecipanti di minore importanza.
      Sometimes a simple figure outlined with a few strokes of the pen and few charismatic adjectives seems like a very improbable success, born from an excess of acumen and energy, an overabundance of love for an imaginary world which is expressed in the desire to animate even its participants of minor importance.
