Topolino celebrates Raphael with comic story for 500th anniversary
Disney's Topolino (Mickey Mouse magazine) pays homage to Raphael on the 500th anniversary of his death with a comic story titled "Paperone e la pietra dell'oltreblù" (Scrooge McDuck and the Stone of Beyond Blue). The story, written by Bruno Enna and illustrated by Alessandro Perina, will be published in issue 3359 of Topolino, available on newsstands from April 8, 2020. It is divided into four episodes and features Paperello Sanzio, a prodigy duckling and son of art, who is ready to receive his family's legacy and surpass it with his skill. The adventure unfolds through flashbacks set in Urbino, Città di Castello, Florence, and Rome—cities that hosted Paperello—as he follows the "blue" traces left by the refined Renaissance painter throughout his extraordinary career.
