‘Yanez’ is a magazine written in Italian and based in Berlin. It was founded in 2016 by Mattia Grigolo e Mauro Mondello.‘9 Lines’ is a monthly column of ‘Yanez’ that gives readers illustrated reading suggestions. I illustrated the cover for a book suggested for the month of May: L'armadio della vergogna. The book refers to a wooden cabinet discovered in 1994 inside a large storage room in Palazzo Cesi-Gaddi, Rome which, at the time, housed the chancellery of the military attorney's office. The cabinet contained an archive of 695 files documenting war crimes perpetrated on Italian soil under fascist rule and during Nazi occupation after the September 8, 1943 armistice between Italy and Allied armed forces.
