Feltrinelli Education launches online comic history course by Tito Faraci

Feltrinelli Education, the digital learning platform, has launched 'Breve storia del fumetto italiano. Le origini, gli eroi, gli autori', a series of three 35-minute video lessons on the history of Italian comics. The course is taught by cartoonist and illustrator Tito Faraci, whose career spans work on iconic characters such as Topolino, Dylan Dog, Zagor, Lupo Alberto, Diabolik, and Marvel comics. The lessons trace Italian comics from their 1908 debut in 'Il Corriere dei Piccoli' through to contemporary creators like Zerocalcare, covering characters such as Bilbolbul and Dick Fulmine. Faraci emphasizes the medium's freedom and anarchic spirit, noting that comics allow unlimited imagination without production costs, unlike film. The project aims to engage a new generation with Italy's rich comic tradition, which still attracts millions of readers a century after its inception.
