LibriBianchi are sculptures created using real books destined for disposal, giving them a new life. Covered in white, each book becomes an icon of all books, telling stories, emotions, and feelings. It may seem like a mute sculpture, but it is not; it silently screams to be read—not with the eyes, but with the heart, as the Little Prince says.
