Edition of 60 hand-numbered copies
Published as the final chapter of the Sudario Fanzine series (2014–2018), Issue No. 3 is dedicated in its entirety to an Italian-American hermit who lived in isolation inside a cave along the Ionian coast of Calabria. The project emerged from a long, quiet correspondence and a series of visits to this remote site, where the artist spent his days painting, surrounded only by the sea, stone, and a few essential objects.
Over time, the relationship evolved into a form of mutual trust: Sudario’s founder, Stefano Tripodi, would bring wine, cigarettes, and supplies in exchange for stories, drawings, and the possibility to document the space. The hermit’s self-portrait — the only photograph he ever shared — appears on the cover, with his face obscured to protect his identity and the fragile ecosystem of his solitude.
The entire issue is built around this encounter: a portrait of a life withdrawn from society, shaped by devotion, repetition, and the material reality of the cave itself. It is one of the most intimate and emotionally resonant editions in the series.
Issue No. 3 was presented at Marsèll Paradise (Milan) and selected for i9, ArtVerona’s 2018 platform dedicated to Italian independent publishing.
Designed and printed in Risograph by ATTO studio (Sara Bianchi and Andrea Zambardi), the fanzine reflects the raw, tactile, and experimental spirit that shaped the early years of Sudario.
This edition consists of 60 hand-numbered copies. Only 13 copies remain available.
Further documentation of acquisitions and institutional holdings of the Sudario Fanzine series is available upon request.
