The Mart hosts the exhibition on linus, the most famous comics magazine in the world. 57 years of editorial history, through the exhibition of all the covers of the 688 issues published between 1965 and 2022.
Born in 1950 from the mind of Charles M. Schulz, the Peanuts arrived in Italy in 1965 causing a cultural revolution that affected the way people thought, who began to laugh, smile and reflect for new and different reasons. Linus is the acknowledged champion of humiliated imagination and crushed by the heavy rationality of everyday things. His visions or reflections, so surprising as to seem outlandish, actually try to give answers to the questions of life by liberating and rehabilitating the strength of imagination.
The exhibition also measures the topicality of those who founded and christened this magazine: Oreste del Buono, Giovanni Gandini, Anna Maria Gandini and of course Umberto Eco who, in the first issue, spoke with Elio Vittorini about this "very serious" thing that is comics.
