The last episode of the second season of Queer Graphics is dedicated to Luca De Santis, with talked about the Italian LGBTQIA+ history, queer families, and the representation of LGBTQIA+ characters in general.
In 2008, De Santis and Sara Colaone published In Italia sono tutti maschi for Kappa Edizioni, dedicated to the confinement of homosexuals during fascism. The book was republished in 2019 by Oblomov Edizioni and has been translated into French, Spanish, Polish, and several other languages. De Santis and Colaone have also collaborated on Leda: che solo amore e luce ha per confine (2016) for Coconino Press, Ariston (2018) for Oblomov, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Amazzone dell'arte moderna (2022) for the same publisher. In 2013, De Santis also published the essay Videogaymes. Omosessualità nei videogiochi tra rappresentazione e simulazione (1975-2009) for Edizioni Unicopli, in which he explored the representation of the LGBTQIA+ community in the world of video games.
Alice Parrinello and Alberica Bazzoni have interviewed Luca de Santis at the Libreria Alice in Florence.
Queer Graphics has been created thanks to PER funding from TORCH, the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities of the University of Oxford. The video has been produced and subtitled by SMK Factory.
