EXCITED LOVERS
“Amori Sfigati” is a series of cartoons on the misunderstandings of love, on the clumsiness and the defeats of the contemporary couple, increasingly lost and fragile. The FB page of Amori Sfigati, born 3 years ago, in a short time has become a transgenerational cult phenomenon.
In recent years the number of his followers has gone from a few thousand to about 60.000 today, in addition to Twitter and Pinterest users and visitors to the Espresso Blog (http: // rapaccini.blogutore.espresso.repubblica.it) . One cartoon a day, two profiles drawn with a fast sign, black on colorful backgrounds. A man and a woman exchange sharp jokes on everyday issues. The topics: jealousy, passion, betrayal, possessiveness, his and her infantilism. Irony, pietas, melancholy, perfidy are mixed in pills of non-wisdom that help men and women to play down their seldom lucky loves.
The book
The first book Crumpled loves by Chiara Rapaccini, the brand with an inverted heart that has become a phenomenon. Unmistakable cartoons that have as protagonists women and men struggling with love relationships in which they can easily recognize and console.
“All in the same boat, we losers, a fragile boat, few provisions, distant destinations. A lot of curiosity. Want to laze around none. Are you a loser in love too? Get on board! ”. The box consists of a book, 14 postcards and a postcard to be personalized with stickers! Franco Cosimo Panini Publisher.
The Amori Sgalciti exhibition
Thus RAP introduces the exhibition: “The double sheet, 190X210cm, is the most symbolic icon of the love consumed by the traditional couple. 12 bottom sheets, 12 top sheets, 24 pillow cases and then the towels and tablecloths, 12, 12 12, were the minimum dowry to be accepted by her future husband and her family. The sheet suggests the mythical "first night", sometimes happy, but often unhappy and suffered by our grandmothers. Red-stained sheets hung on the windows of the southern houses, the morning after the first night, as a guarantee of the virginity of the new bride who abandoned herself to her first love affair too often with resignation. Blood red, like the upturned heart, symbol of RAP's unlucky loves. Those were the "unlucky loves" of the '800, not so dissimilar from those of today. Situations change, victims and executioners alternate, but the theme of imperfect love remains the same over the years ". Therefore, respecting this 'tradition', the cloths will be hung on the walls of some significant buildings in Naples.
The treasure hunt
From the Facebook pages of iocisto, of the event and of AMSFIG you can download the application that will allow you to start the hunt. The places identified by the RAP cartoons will appear on the Google map of Naples and the participants will be able to locate them and go there. Once on site, the application downloads a QRcode that will be used to view all the locations. Since the map gives an indication at least 20 meters from the goal, the participants will be forced to look for the precise place and post either the photo or the video. The first 10 who recover them will all be able to go to the bookstore to receive the exclusive t-shirt created by RAP for iocistus as a gift.
T-shirt
RAP has created a sticker to support the iocisto campaign which will be reproduced on the t-shirts sold exclusively at the bookstore. The subject of the vignette is inspired by the Neapolitan tradition and will be unveiled on the evening of October 25.

I'M IN
An incredible 5-month ride that began as a game on social networks: May 13: “Ah… But don't we want to open a wonderful bookstore? If you have money (any amount) and want to think about it let me know. I'm in". With this provocation launched on Facebook by Ciro Sabatino, at 10,35 on May 13, 2014, the dream of iocistus was officially born.
The 21 July Naples is blocked by books: over 3000 people and 150 members share a project. In Via Cimarosa, 20 is born the 'iocisto' bookcase. Today the 'iocistiani' are beyond 650 and they grow more and more. Day after day, they are building the bookcase, with the energy of passion. They painted, mounted the shelves, hung their books, guaranteed the opening rounds. 'iocisto' is a constantly evolving reality. Today 'iocisto' is active and offers evenings for members, events, presentations of books and films, activities and workshops for children. Dreams are becoming reality. With everyone's contribution. Tomorrow 'iocisto' will be many things. It will be many books in one. It will be the result of the imagination of its members:
Library that speaks
Books are read and heard. Ad 'iocisto' will be possible to do it. It will be possible to listen to the books from the voice of their authors but also through the narration of actors.
Library that writes
The site 'iocisto' will host a blog to tell the books, characters and places, as well as provide the opportunity to participate and register online for the events organized. 'iocisto' will support emerging writers with expert advice and services (editing, proofreading, graphics, publishing project, etc.)
Library that promotes
'iocisto' will organize meetings for schools and schools, in museums and in all institutional spaces that do not have their own cultural activity. It will create events in bookshops, in shops, in discos, in places traditionally far from books.
Diffused library
It's the bookcase that takes books out in the open air or in stores, in your street, in your neighborhood, at the park nearest your home. Installations are planned in stores and readings organized in different parts of the city.
