La Mancina - Alessandra Amorotti

“Mancina” means left-handed in italian. ~ an independent traditional artist and mixed media enthusiast, full time cat lady and serial crocheter; just that weird hippie aunt who read tarot cards and gets drunk at weddings.

Year 1985 - she attended the Scuolacomics in Florence in 2005, then mainly dedicated to independent projects and commissions, alternating illustration and comics with periods of university studies (foreign languages, art history, italian sign language interpretation) and secondary jobs.

2024 - she reworked on a series of illustrations for the (ongoing) reprint of the book "Una ribelle di nome Fiamma", for Edizioni Chillemi. The first volume was published in 2008.

2023 - she works on editorial projects (illustration for the self-produced booklet of letters "Nuove Eroidi", in collaboration with the writer Rebecca Caracciolo) and works on a commission for the UAAR - union of atheists and rationalists - (series of illustrations for the information campaign on lay ceremonies).

Between 2020 and 2022 she worked on the illustrations of the book "Storie senza dogmi" by the writer Adele Orioli, published by Nessun Dogma, an editorial project of UAAR.
