The anastatic reproduction of this notebook (edizioni Sillabe) is an editorial project of a high value and extraordinary complexity, which offers readers and scholars a very special document, which had been so far the only copy existing. Signorini wrote this notebook during the last years of his life, collecting, on its pages, newspaper clippings and images of the time, photos, drawings and autographic caricatures, remarks and verses, often unpublished, written in his own hand, thus creating a cultural, artistic and human miscellany that enlarges our knowledge of this singular author and of his vast world, Macchiaioli painters included.
