L'AltroVerso: Fotografiche by Anna Laura Bachini

Bag design by Anna Laura Bachini

Graphic designer Anna Laura Bachini has turned her artistic talents to a wide variety of uses. Her photographic images are already familiar to many of those who live in Livorno, since her designs have been used for the ‘Welcome to Livorno’ panels located at various points in the city. She has also carried out a number of projects for many local businesses, including Bar Civili, Teatro Goldoni and the Caprilli Race course and in 2012 has designed the poster for the 100th anniversary of poet Giorgio Caproni's birth. She has also created the graphic design work for the theatrical event dedicated to Milanese poet Alda Merini.

The core of Anna Laura’s work comes from digitally printed photographic images combined with lines of poetry or related citations. One of her images of the Terrazza Mascagni, for example, bears a quotation about Livorno and its people by Pier Paolo Pasolini. She uses these designs to make decorative panels, as well as applying them to soft furnishings, lampshades, bags, and clothing.

Her works can be seen and purchased at Studio Blu furniture shop (Piazza Barontini), Bar Civili, the Tourist Information Office in Via Pieroni, Cartoleria Marchetti in Via Goldoni 37, and the bookshop Edison in Via degli Avvalorati.
