Exhibitions

Sport has always been an opportunity for growth, confrontation and sharing, especially when played with team spirit. Comics, animation and video games portray it as an educational vehicle, capable of conveying values such as fair play, inclusion and resilience. Alongside spectacular series, there are standout comic book biographies that reveal the human side of great champions – from Maradona to Facchetti, from Coppi and Bartali to Malabrocca – as well as stories of social redemption, personal challenges, and passion in the suburban playing fields. 
There will also be a section dedicated to sports stories that have been seen in animated films and have become fixed in the collective imagination of entire generations, such as Holly and Benji or Mila and Shiro.
The exhibition tells the story of illustrated sports – football, cycling, basketball, motorsports... – through original panels, projections, and immersive set designs.
An engaging journey for adults and children, where every pencil stroke is a hymn to determination.
