Hello, and welcome to this site featuring photos of and artwork by multi-talented Italian journalist Giovannino Guareschi (1908-1968), creator of the Little World of Don Camillo. Whether you are curious about what the author looked like as a child, would enjoy viewing some nice colorized versions of his "angel-devil" drawings, or just think it's about time you saw a few of those political cartoons mentioned in the introductions to the Don Camillo books, you've come to the right place. And while you're here, do take a look at the oil paintings, animated comic strips, and other goodies I've got! All my material is organized into "Galleries" as described below; click on the teal links to visit the ones that interest you.
Note: The Galleries are undergoing a face-lift. The links below work, but don't bookmark any URLs, as they should all be different by mid-July 2002.
