Laura Pellegrini (born 12 November 1955), best known as Ellekappa, is an Italian editorial cartoonist, comic artist and illustrator.
Life and career
Born in Rome, Pellegrini graduated from a fashion school for stylists before being employed as a clerk in a ministerial office.[1] First close to anarchism and later to the Italian Communist Party, she made her comic debut in the political magazine Città futura.[1][2] Since then she collaborated with numerous high-profile newspapers and magazines, notably Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, L'Unità, Il manifesto, Il Male, Linus, Cuore, Tango, Noi donne.[1][2] She also served as a collaborating writer in several satirical shows, notably Striscia la notizia and Drive In.[1]
The main subjects of Ellekappa's generally black-and-white cartoons are two people, often women, discussing the daily events in a harsh and bitter tone, in a dialog generally consisting of just two lines.[1][3] In 2007, she was awarded the Flaiano Prize for satire.[1]
