For the third consecutive year I went to the fair in Mantova which, as every year, was held at Palabam, the sports hall of the Lombard city.
Before talking about the day on Sunday put some photos he took Dixie on Saturday, as she also participated in the day, while I and the Ginkgo we could be there for work purposes.
Here are a few authors present Saturday.
Rossano Rossi, designer Tex
Max Bertolini, illustrator and cover artist Nathan Never
Marcello Mangiantini, designer Zagor
Piccatti Louis, designer Dylan Dog
Gabriele Dell'Otto, designer Marvel
hermit crabs, namely: Emiliano Pagani and Daniel Caluri
After this series of authors goes on to describe the day on Sunday.
Given the length of the trip the alarm rings at 5 am and, after I had reassembled in a way, the backpack load in the car and I'll get to the Ginkgo Laveno and Dixie in Turate.
The day is rainy and in highway we can not run that much, then calmly arrive in Mantua around 9, just in time for the opening of the fair.
Just reach inside the booth where we find the artistic Alley's Friends Alessandro Bocci, Marco Santucci and Fabiano Ambu.
After a chat with them, we do make a few sketches (you've seen them in two movies that I've posted the past few days) and then we put in row stand for the printing of Bonelli Nicola Mari, designer under Dylan Dog, which in the past also designed to Nathan Never.
Socket printing and greeted Mari, we dive in and fair notice, to our regret, that even here the stands with the material of interest to us are really very few.
now to find material antiques you're forced to go to Reggio Emilia or Bologna.
Around us are many cosplayers, figures now customary in this type of event.
Around noon we reached the fair also Marta in the company of the inevitable Yannick. After the pleasantries
Bonelli back to the stand to pick up the print of the legendary Giovanni Romanini, designer Martin Mystere now in force, but in the past was a student and collaborator of the great Magnus.
At about 13:00 we stopped to eat a sandwich in the lounge with bar, sitting area with tables and seats for the artists who perform sketches with the extraction system type lottery.
Basically you take a ticket (free) and then hopefully come out .. I, with my bottom that I find myself, I lost a sketch for a number of Mark Checchetto ....
mind ... Adriana, who has a nice butt of my :-), has won a sketch performed by Roberto Recchioni, writer who delights also in the drawing.
After the fleeting lunch we are divided and I do a walk by the parties stand by Simone Bianchi, one of the most respected Italian designers in the States.
Farsi make a sketch of him is virtually impossible because of the row to its stand, so Pavesio makeshift booth, where the gentle Marco Bianchini makes me a beautiful drawing of the beautiful White, star of the comic Termite Bianca .
We return again to the stand to sign the prints Bonelli where there is a nice Gigi Cavenago, designer Cassidy, Dixie and I have already met at the Arcadia comic books a few months ago.
(Find the post here )
Let's take another walk around the stands and see the work the two talented designers Maurizio Rosenzweig and Matthew Cremona.
Not far away, Star Comics booth, we meet Massimo Mauro Bergamo and Gallicchio, designers of the new series of Giuseppe Di Bernardo, The Secret.
The two turn out to be very nice and tell us about some indiscretion on the series while we do the sketch of the two protagonists the necklace.
We spend a last stand alo Bonelli to withdraw printing Marco Santucci and then I go to greet Ambu Bocci and that gave me the commission I showed you yesterday.
After greeting Martin and Yannick reach the car and head toward the rain, towards Varese.
The budget is more than positive we had fun, we reviewed old friends we have known more and we brought home ... prints and drawings that you want?
If I find a flaw I say it is absurd to force people to pay back the ticket after leaving Palabam; it had not provided the stamp, which they usually do at these events, which can come free once released.
t Here You can find the report of the 2009, while the report of 2010 I will write soon (mass, we go a little bit with head :-))
