[ There are many references to the work of Dino Tofani , specially in the 20's and 30's where he had a very prolific activity in the illustration of many books of diverse thematic's , in the Decoration and rehabilitation of Cinemas and Theaters and even in the creation of Bookplates ... however , strangely , there is no Biographical data about the Artist, and even his birth date must be taken with caution... ]
