In addition to these titles, I would recommend any title by Dino Battaglia. Also, why not, I would recommend some old classics: “ Tutto cominciò da un’estate Indiana,” by Hugo Pratt and Milo Manara and “ Sharaz-de” by Sergio Toppi. “ Celestia” by Manuele Fior is a great story, too. “ Salvezza” by Marco Rizzo and Lelio Bonaccorso, who told their experience on the NGO rescue boat “ Aquarius,” which was stuck in the Mediterranean with 600 migrants on board. “ Kobane Calling” by Zerocalcare, which documents the war between the Kurds and the Islamic State. I think of “ Sweet Salgari” by Paolo Bacilieri, which is about the author of Sandokan’s last years (also known as Emilio Salgari). Many good titles came out in the last few years. I would start by recommending this one because it is a good example of the expressive potential of contemporary comics. Gipi, for example, was nominated for the Strega Award with “Momenti straordinari con applausi finti”- a profound and touching book. Finding titles of comic novels among the nominees for literary awards is no longer unusual. Lately, comics have acquired new narrative outlets, and are available in bookstores as well. Our production is notable in terms of quantity and editorial initiatives. Not everyone knows that Italy is one of the most established producers of comics in the world, together with Japan, the United States, and France. Which Italian comics would you recommend to our readers so that they can better understand our culture, and why?
