Palazzo Valle in Catania will host from October 1, 2019 to March 1, 2020 the exhibition Boom!!! From American Comics to Neopop.

There are three thematic exhibition areas with originals of Sunday boards, daily strips and comic-book pages, comic pages from period newspapers, comic books and posters from American, British, French and Italian films, movie set memorabilia, cartoon and film projections, video games, multimedia and interactive technology, and about forty unique works by the greatest great creators of contemporary art who have used comics in their language, such as Lichtenstein, Warhol, Murakami, and many other contemporary Neopoporaeo and street art artists.

The exhibition is curated by Maurizio Scudiero, Giuseppe Stagnitta and Giancarlo Carpi in collaboration with Marco Grasso and is a Sicilia Musei, Italia Museo and Emergence project that is part of the Etna Comics programming.
