VALENTINA MOVIE. THE ART OF THE COMIC STRIP

July 24th, 2012 by admin
This year, Rome’s Palazzo Incontro has set up its splendid halls to host an extremely fascinating exhibit dedicated to Guido Crepax’s famous heroine: Valentina.

These aspects incarnated many of the pulsations of emancipation and women’s independence of those times and were emphasized by the character’s natural and constant ageing. The exhibit unwinds among never before seen worktables and storyboards, sets, outlines and settings originating from ...
