Abstract
In this paper we consider a non-prime K3 surface of degree 16, and study a specific degeneration of it, known as the (2, 2)-pillow degeneration, [10]. We study also the braid monodromy factorization of the branch curve of the surface with respect to a generic projection onto ℂℙ2. In [4], we compute the fundamental groups of the complement of the branch curve and of the corresponding Galois cover of the surface.
