Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on August 04, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Luigi Serafini! May your day be as delightfully surreal and wonderfully puzzling as the pages of Codex Seraphinianus. Ever since you first unleashed this whimsical encyclopedia upon an unsuspecting world in 1981—initially just a curious run of 5,000 copies—you've inspired countless imaginations to wander freely through realms unknown.

Now republished more than five times (and still charmingly indecipherable), your masterpiece continues enchanting new generations with its playful absurdity. Here's hoping today brings you joy stranger than fiction—and cake tastier than any imaginary delicacy you've ever illustrated!

Cheers to another year filled with creativity and delightful mysteries!
