“BITTER, AMORE” MAP

A map of central Rome in the 1950s, for the book “Bitter, Amore” by Carina Burman, showing a number of locations that crop up in the story. The detail in the corner is the Swedish Institute in Rome, a real location that features heavily in the book, in somewhat fictionalised form.

The illustration was drawn in pencil and combined with a painted monochrome layer.
