Lussu: "La lettera uccide" (Stampa Alternativa&Graffiti, 1999; also Nuovi Equilibri, Viterbo 1999). He is one of the founders of the magazine "Calligrafia".

He created a Roman lettering font, Scipio, in 1998 for 8mm-high letters to be carved out on the path from the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain in Rome. This roman type was based on the lettering found on the Sepolcro degli Scipioni (2nd century before Christ). |
