Aldo Manuzio exhibition at Gallerie dell'Accademia becomes a Disney comic
The exhibition 'Aldo Manuzio. Il rinascimento di Venezia' at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, which opened in March, has been adapted into a comic story in the Italian Disney weekly Topolino. Issue No. 3151 features 'Zio Paperone e i libri segreti di Paperus Picuzio,' with Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck reenacting the life of Aldo Manuzio, the father of modern publishing. The story is written by Alessandro Sisti and illustrated by Valerio Held, blending historical reconstruction of Venice with fictional adventures. The project results from a partnership between the exhibition and the magazine, and includes family educational programs. The exhibition runs until June.
