Il Giornalino #51

In "Maturità," a 1985 issue of Il Giornalino, readers follow Jo and her friends through a series of light-hearted, slice-of-life adventures—from navigating a self-cleaning car wash to discovering the joys of a small horse they’ve nicknamed "the first horse on horseback." With whimsical vignettes like a cozy treehouse and a fan-made ear accessory, the story captures the quiet magic of growing up. The cover, by Franco Oneta, perfectly captures the playful spirit of the issue.
