Italian authorship abroad: comics, illustrations and transmedial properties

In recent years we have witnessed a season of successes of comics and Italian illustration also abroad, the effect of a ferment that has brought in our country to the fore many valid authors and brought out some recognized masters. In the face of a positive trend, improvement still seems possible, provided that a working strategy is defined that can put authors, publishers and in general producer of multimedia content to work, with the aim of expanding the offer and creating formats and content with a strong global appeal. The aim of the meeting is to lay the foundations for a common work, collecting ideas and proposals from publishers, international experts and institutions responsible for promoting abroad.

With the participation of Marco Schiavone, CEO Edizioni BD J-POP Manga; Massimiliano Clemente, Editorial Director of Tunué; Maurizio Forestieri, President and Director GRAPHILM ENTERTAINMENT Animation Production Company - CYBERGROUP STUDIOS Company; Meritxell Puig, General Manager of FICOMIC, Foundation organizer of COMIC BARCELONA and MANGA BARCELONA.

The meeting is hosted by Sabrina Perucca, Romics Artistic Director.
