Cover of "The Note Beneath Bologna", a personalized comic starring Elena of Bologna: Elena stands under the lantern-lit porticoes of Bologna at dusk in a dark teal tuner's jacket with a tuning-fork emblem, a tuning hammer raised in one hand and a tool bag at her hip, rings of sound spreading around her, the Asinelli tower and a bicycle behind. Drawn in anime style, made as a proposal book that ends on the question, from the man asking.
