Pop culture events arrive in Italy with Pescara and Palermo conventions

Several major pop culture and comic events are taking place in Italy this September. The 13th edition of Pescara Comix & Games will be held from September 11 to 13 at the Pala Dean Martin in Montesilvano. Centered on the theme ‘AGE OF HEROES’, the event features actor Robin Lord Taylor, known for his role as Oswald Cobblepot in the series Gotham, who will participate in meet-and-greet sessions and a scheduled talk on September 13.

In Palermo, the Palermo Comic Convention is running from September 10 to 13 at Cantieri alla Zisa. A highlight of the convention is the release of a special Panini Comics volume titled ‘Il siciliano nelle storie di Topolino’. This collection features Disney stories translated into the Palermitan and Catanese dialects, celebrating Sicilian folklore and linguistic traditions. The volume includes works by authors such as Niccolò Testi and Alessandro Perina, with a special preface by Fiorello.
