Artist Giacon, Father of Modern Italian Comics, To Speak at Cersaie

Bologna, IT, May 20, 2015—This year’s Lesson in Reverse at Cersaie will be given by Massimo Giacon, a multidisciplinary artist who works in fields ranging from design to comic strips, art and music and is considered one of the fathers of modern Italian comics.

The meeting—one of the most important appointments in the Building Dwelling Thinking program aimed at young people—will be held in the Europauditorium on October 2.

Giacon will answer questions asked by high school students from all over Emilia Romagna, who will have a unique opportunity to talk face-to-face with the artist who is enormously popular amongst young people.

Giacon’s work as a designer has seen him involved in projects for Memphis, Swatch, Olivetti, Philips, Artemide, Telecom, Ritzenhoff and Alessi.
