For the third year running, the event returns
Fumetti e storie dal Medioevo (Comics and Stories from the Middle Ages)
When: Sunday 8 June 2025
Where: Pianello Val Tidone, Piazza Umberto I
There will be gazebos and stations for guest comic strip artists, as well as comic strip workshops and creative activities. There will also be a special exhibition, which will present the comic strips of the authors present, allowing visitors to discover the stages of working on a comic strip and admire the talent of the artists involved.
A unique opportunity to embark on a journey in storytelling, from its origins to the present day, and to understand how medieval tales such as ‘The Roman de Renart’ intertwine with the Disney universe.
Among the authors and illustrators will be present: Alessandro Sisti, a renowned Disney scriptwriter, Valerio Held, a highly regarded Disney illustrator and cartoonist, and Francesco Barbieri, a multifaceted cartoonist and illustrator of international renown. There will also be our ‘local’ cartoonists: Paolo Bisi, Nicola Genzianella, Pietro Gandolfi and, as always, a few pleasant surprises.
The initiative is being held together with the Archaeological Museum of Val Tidone, the Province of Piacenza and the Municipality of Pianello Val Tidone, which is hosting the event in the town’s charming historic centre, for a weekend of events, meetings and, of course, comics!
