Elisa Colarossi is a Rome-based illustrator whose artistic career was reignited during the 2020 lockdown, thanks to the whimsical and heartwarming adventures of her black cat, Stanis, which are cataloged on Instagram at @romangalgoesaround. In addition to her illustration work, she authored the guidebook Experience Rome, published by Lonely Planet in 2021, showcasing her love for the city and its culture.
Stanis is a round black cat born in the bustling streets of Rome. When not kneading pasta, Stanis is busy exploring new hobbies and activities and loves to spend time with his friends, proving that even the snuggliest cats can lead vibrant and exciting lives. A lover of early morning meowing concerts, sunlit spots, tuna, and dramatic stretching, Stanis is a furry philosopher of life's simple joys
