Introduction

THE READER WILL FIND diverse essays collected in this book, and I am confident that they will not view them as disparate. The same standpoint and the same love are actually at the base of historical research like the one on the first abstract colour experiments, of a theoretical effort at defining the medium, of a reasoning on early African animated films, and so on, from 1972 to today. In my long career in animation I have contributed a world history, a monograph on pioneer Quirino Cristiani, and an anthological monograph on master Alexandre Alexeieff. It seemed fair to me not to deprive the collected essays (otherwise unobtainable) to readers who value my work.
