An important book that, twelve years after his death, brings together hundreds of the drawings of this great artist from Brianza for the first time. Leafing through the catalogue, one follows the artistic career of Piero Maggioni and catches his inexhaustible, constant, and almost obsessive research on bodies, shapes and nature in all their nuances. More than 600 works are published here for the first time and represent an indispensable tool for knowledge about the foundations of the artistic path of this Lombard artist. The critical text in Italian and in English is edited by Giorgio Seveso.
