Ernesto Ferrero tells Cristina Lastrego I’ve known Cristina Lastrego since the mid 1970’s, when she (architect) and Francesco Testa (philosopher) a rock-solid couple in life and work, introduced themselves rather shyly and respectfully in Via Biancamano 1, at Torino, in the head-office of Einaudi, with a huge folder containing what would become their first book Giovanna; a comic book story. |
