Tricromia Illustrators' International Art Gallery

with Emilio Varrà, Samuele Canestrari, Giuseppina Frassino, Ahmed Ben Nessib, Sara Colaone, Beatrice Pucci, Otto Gabos

Tricromia International Art Gallery - which is celebrating  more than 30 years of activity - was one of the first in Italy to deal with comics and illustration when these languages were not yet fully legitimized in the cultural discourse. Today it is a home gallery, a combination of the private space of its founder' house, Giuseppina Frassino, and the public space of the gallery. While retracing the history of Tricromia and its space, Frassino and a group of artists who have collaborated with her over the years tell the story of Italian comics as well.

The talk will be in Italian.
