Looking at these official storyboards and concept art for Isabela’s transformation during “What Else Can I Do?”, always makes me just say that we were ROBBED of her wearing a cool punk rock dress and a flower crown!
Don’t get me wrong, I love the splattered and colorful dress Isa had once she had her breakthrough during the song, but THESE ideas I have to admit, are so much more cooler and amazing! She’s got spikes, vines, PAINT on her face, and a beautiful flower crown, and she looks gorgeous! Lin Manuel himself said that her song is supposed to be a “Rockin’ Español” song, so her punk look would have been so amazing, it sucks that it was scrapped! 😭
However, I do have a few theories why they did, maybe it was time budgets, or maybe they thought all that glamor would be a too big of a distraction, but whatever the reason, I really love this look on her, and I DEFINITELY hope to see something like this on her in the future, maybe in a series or a short, whichever because I DEFINITELY headcanon that she looks like this after the events of the movie. Slay Isa! 😩💕🌸🌺🌵

Today I want to talk about an italian Disney artist, who I think undeservedly got forgotten in the long decades that separates us from his death in 1969.
I'm talking about Luciano Capitanio.
Luciano Capitanio was born in Venice in 1934, he had a little studio in the Castello district, near the Arsenal, that he shared with his colleague Vladimiro Missaglia and where he drew comics mainly for Mondadori and Edizioni Bianconi.
Nonna Abelarda, character created by Giovan Battista Carpi in 1952 for the comic book publishing house Bianconi, in an original art by Luciano Capitanio (source).
He started his career in the early 50s by illustrating numerous stories with secondary characters for the publishing houses Alpe and Bianconi. In 1956 he illustrated his first story for Topolino (at the time published by Mondadori): Paperino e le macchie sospette written by Guido Martina.
Paperino e le macchie sospette (1956) it's the first story Luciano Capitanio illustrated for Topolino.
It was in his studio that his little 12 years old cousin got fascinated by the comics industry and started helping him by inking some of his drawings. That little cousin's name was Giorgio Cavazzano.
Cavazzano was not the only artist who started their career in Capitanio's studio: Maurizio Amendola is another one and together with Luciano Gatto they are what I call the "Sestiere Castello Gang" 😁.
Jumping Donald by Capitanio from Zio Paperone e il segreto dello spillo (1969)... we can appreciate how jumping ducks must have been a very venetian trope XD
From 1956 to 1968 Capitanio illustrated about a hundred and fifty stories for Topolino, mostly by Guido Martina and Abramo Barosso. He also collaborated with Romano Scarpa as an inker (a figure Scarpa was always in need for) when, together with his peer Luciano Gatto, he replaced Cavazzano who had been called to army service.
Capitanio's style is very classical, much alike the one of Gatto and Perego and Bordini, though not as refined. His production was aimed more to the quantity than the quality: he needed to make as much money as possible to provide for his wife and two children one of which needed urgent surgeries.
About his artistic ability, Luciano Gatto said: "I saw him draw and I was struck by the ease with which he did it, it was much easier for him than for me."
He definetely improved over the years, especially when he got the chance to draw the more "modern" ducks of the late 60s.
The mayhem caused by that stockfish 🤦... from Zio Paperone e i merluzzi di Lakemerl (1968) by Guido Martina and Luciano Capitanio.
Unfortunately, we will never know where his skills with a pencil would have lead him: just when his son made it through his last and final surgery, Luciano Capitanio suddenly passed away.
He was 35.
Rodolfo Cimino's Zio Paperone e l'influsso monetario is the last story he drew for Topolino. It was published posthumously in 1970 on Topolino #739.
Donald and Scrooge as drawn by Capitanio in the last story he illustrated, Zio Paperone e l'influsso monetario (1970)
I say for certain, was it not for his untimely death, we would talk now about Luciano Capitanio as one of the Maestri Disney.
Luciano Gatto agrees with me 😉
