Diabolik! Cosa accade dietro le quinte di un’opera a fumetti? Che rapporto si instaura tra sceneggiatore e disegnatore? Come si arriva a quell’alchimia straordinaria tra storia e immagine che caratterizza un’opera riuscita?... Dal personaggio alla struttura della tavola, quanti segreti e trucchi del mestiere. Proviamo a orientarci grazie a un personaggio di grande successo del fumetto italiano, Diabolik, nato nel 1962, che continua ad affascinare e a vivere grandi avventure: qual è la sua formula vincente, tra classicità e rinnovamento continuo. Grazie al dialogo tra Mario Gomboli, Direttore di Astorina e soggettista e sceneggiatore del personaggio, e Giuseppe Palumbo, uno dei più grandi disegnatori di Diabolik, in un incontro molto particolare, in cui potremo assistere anche alla creazione di una strip in diretta con una mini-storia di Diabolik creata appositamente per l’occasione. Conduce l’incontro Mario Bellina, autore e sceneggiatore televisivo. On air now!

"L’italiano fra parola e immagine: una passeggiata attraverso la storia" is the title of Valeria Della Valle and Giuseppe Patota's contribution to the 20th Week of the Italian Language in the World. The two renowned scholars have created a path through words and images granting the public direct access to documents and historic testimonies.

TONIGHT AT 6:00PM, on this page: Explore some of the most important steps in the history of the Italian Language with Valeria Della Valle and Giuseppe Patota. Take a virtual visit to an ancient Roman church and discover the oldest comic strip in history, and to Tuscany, where they'll read a sonnet by Dante, the father of the Italian language. A detail in one of Andrea del Sarto's paintings will then prompt them to read one of Francesco Petrarch's famous verses dedicated to his muse, Laura. They will discuss Machiavelli's prose, invoking Leonardo Da Vinci's brilliance, who was not only a great artist, but a great cartographer as well.
