A deep dive into the wonders of the ninth art, with a special focus on its female interpretation: after the preview last June 5th – with guests Antonio Lucchi, Massimo Dall'Oglio and Luca Usai – the third edition of " Tesori a Fumetti. Storie che lascia il segno" (Comic Book Treasures. Stories that Leave a Mark ) is now underway in Pimentel . The international comics festival, organized by the Municipality in collaboration with the Assonanze association, invites the public to the Casa Piras premises until September 26th for meetings with authors, illustrators and screenwriters, two masterclasses , a concert and more.
The theme chosen for this new edition is " Challenges ," which is interpreted on the event's poster by Sassari-born cartoonist Lucchi himself, in a sci-fi reworking of the Greek myth of Sisyphus . But beware, because the cover is no longer the strong son of Aeolus, but a woman who, making her way through the monsters and miasmas of the swamp, carries on her shoulders a net overflowing with comic book speech bubbles. An original metaphor for the obstacles that life throws at one's goals, further strengthened by the choice to place the authors and heroines of the ninth art at the center , also exploring the guests' creative processes and, as emphasized by artistic director Daniele Mocci , involving visitors in an initiative built precisely around the theme of challenges on each day of the festival.
The program
All the days scheduled at the space in Via Margherita will remain free to enter , with each evening opening with the monologues of " Il mio tesoro a fumetti ", in which authors are invited to present some of the titles that have marked their personal and professional career: this year the regular guest is the screenwriter , whose speeches will be enriched by a on the comics presented in the company of the public.
