Alice Milani

Alice Milani studied painting and printmaking techniques in Torino Academy of Fine Arts and in ENSAV in Brussels. She lived in Belgium several years, then came back to Pisa.

She started self publishing comics in 2009. Since then she published three biographic graphic novels: Wisława Szimborska (2015, BeccoGiallo Editore), Marie Curie (2017, BeccoGiallo Editore, translated into French, Spanish, Korean and English), and in 2019 she published Università e pecore, (Feltrinelli Comics) about the life of Don Lorenzo Milani, an Italian politically controversial priest from the sixties. In 2018 she participated in the ERCcOMICS project with a webcomic about ayurvedic medicine. She also created a short story about Russian mathematician Sofia Kovalevska, which appeared in Comics & Science, a CNR funded comics magazine. Her parents are both scientists (my mother is a physicist, my father was a mathematician) and they were my scientific consultants in the writing of the book about Marie Curie.
