Elisabetta Dami (Milan, 1958) already wore the adventurous signal lengthy earlier than her well-liked character appeared on the scene. Pilot and skydiver on the age of 20, the Italian author and creator of Gerónimo Stilton recounts many feats to her credit score: a visit around the globe on the age of 23, 3 times the New York Marathon (the final in 2017), a rally for the Sahara desert and a survival course at Maine's Outward Sure Faculty, amongst different feats.
However the best journey of his life is the one which he has created round this endearing mouse, additionally director of the newspaper El eco del rodentor and protagonist of his books. A personality whose adventures and values have collapsed yr after yr the limitations of suspicion from booksellers, educators and choosy mother and father. An unstoppable publishing phenomenon that has already been translated into 52 languages and has bought an astronomical variety of 180 million copies.
Gerónimo celebrates its twentieth anniversary since its publication in Spain and few instances its writer lends herself to be interviewed. On this event, she has exceptionally opened the doorways of her charming home in Milan. Her hospitality is overwhelming, and her prepare dinner's spaghetti is spectacular.
The author says that she has all the time voluntarily given all of the prominence to Gerónimo, together with the signature on all of the covers of the sequence. "The message is far more essential than the one that writes it and I've by no means aspired to be well-known or to see my identify written on the quilt," she says from her dwelling in Milan, the place the outdated crimson typewriter her father gave her to the 7 years has a outstanding place.
It's due to this premeditated resolution that for a few years there was hypothesis in regards to the identify of who was actually behind Stilton. Immediately we all know that there's a girl of arms to take, animalist, supportive, respectful, a little bit shy and full of fine intentions.

Immediately volunteering continues to be a basic a part of his life, particularly people who consult with environmental safety, however now with far more bold tasks, such because the one he's finishing up within the Central African Republic, the place he has created a commerce college for which 2,000 college students have already handed.
Stilton has tales for a very long time. The crew that has masterfully introduced Gerónimo to theater levels in a musical format can be answerable for this and can quickly take him to the cinema by the hands of David Soren, the director of Captain Underpants. However all the time with the indelible mark that Dami has printed on his novels: "Common moral values are what I hope will assist kids develop higher."
