Bomboland is a studio. It's in Lucca and you can only get here on foot. 

We do the things you see written in the menu above, and we do them for the clients you see written in the list below. We try to do them well because we hate things done badly. 

We try to keep on doing them well because the recession can't be an excuse for everyting. 

We try to be punctual because why should we make people wait? 

We try not to take ourselves too seriously because, ultimately, 

we make a living by drawing pictures. 

At Bomboland, you'll find Maurizio at the drawing table, Elisa at the cutting table, and Missy every place, including forbidden ones, like the couch. Maurizio has been looking for the prefect chair for years, and it is sure to take the credit for the masterpiece he will soon make. Elisa keeps on failing to understand the connection between the chair and the masterpiece, but is sure he will make it soon. 

Missy keeps on sitting on the couch with impunity.
