Alessio Piccirillo and Zulema Scotto Lavina Discuss Comics and Cinema in Artribune Podcast

On the podcast 'Contemporaneamente', hosted by Mariantonietta Firmani, comic artist Zulema Scotto Lavina and artist manager Alessio Piccirillo delve into the realms of comics and cinema. Piccirillo, who oversees a well-known Italian film press office, emphasizes the meticulous nature of film marketing, contrasting it with the faster tempo of television. He points out that the star system is heavily reliant on promotion, with celebrities often being amenable. Scotto Lavina, a Naples native born in 1997, embarked on her career at 21 with Arancia Studio after studying comics and digital coloring. She has released three volumes of 'Disney's The Little Mermaid' through Dark Horse Comics/Disney and has worked on various comic projects. Piccirillo's agency has handled press for over 150 films, collaborating with stars like Al Pacino and major distributors.
