Diego Del Giudice

Diego, born in the rolling hills of the Marche region in central Italy, and his studio “INCHIOSTRO E RADICI”.

An illustrator, painter, and scribe who explores Enchanted Folklore and the Fantastic Middle Ages: in his corner, poised between reality and enchanted mists, he will introduce you to beasts and sibyls on wood, parchments with an antique feel, medieval iron gall ink, and wild spirits.

But what does the name “Inchiostro e Radici” conceal?

The oak gall that macerates and becomes ink. The miniaturist hunched over in the scriptorium. The dark local folklore. A leaf that becomes immortal. The deep root that resurfaces, bringing with it the secrets of the underworld. The fairy was dancing wildly in the witches’ circles. A bunch of dried herbs. The enchanted hawthorn. The sacred boar of Arduinna. The troll living under the bridge. The all-seeing mushroom. The 'Mazzamurello' tapping on the wall. The bewitched walnut tree. The fairy watching you from the mists. The veil separating this world from the ethereal one. The Valkyrie riding on the winds. The scent of petrichor. The smoking chimney in the twilight hours. The Sibyl sits beneath the mountain. The dragon guarding the treasure. The hobbit is smoking peacefully on his doorstep. The Norns weave the fate of mankind. A mournful song. The outcast living on the fringes of society. My soul that longs to tell its story...
