The exhibition, taking place in Città di Castello from the 4th of June to the 3rd of July 2016 in the Vitelli Palace's Sala del Camino (Fireplace Hall) in Sant'Egidio, has been set up with the contribution of the Association "Amici del Fumetto" (Strip Cartoon's Friends), that has been organizing for 14 years "Tiferno Comics", a strip cartoons' exhibition aiming at promoting strip cartoons as form of art. 

Pablo Echaurren is indeed the artist that, better than anyone else, is able to convey this message.

Indeed Pablo started off as painter, for then switching into portraying and focusing at the end on strip cartoons. In his works strip cartoons are melting with futurism and cubism, becoming a pure and unmistakable art that, yet, with its simplicity and immediacy can be easily understood by anyone. The more than a hundred plates of the exhibition are linked to an event of the friendship between  Pablo Echaurren and Vincenzo Mollica, a pleasant memory of their life.

The Città di Castello's exhibition becomes therefore the biggest proof of what this friendship produced over time. Through the exhibit it is possible to admire the splendid halls of Vitelli Palace in Sant'Egidio, a building built around the half of the 16 ^th century. Don't miss out the visit to Albizzini Place, in the immediate surroundings, where is arranged the collection of Burri's works, one of the best contemporary artists.
