Luciano Bottaro (16 novembre 1931 – 25 novembre 2006)
- 1949: Luciano Bottaro rentre chez l’éditeur De Leo pour qui il livre des gags et des courts récits. Il y invente Aroldo il bucaniere, mais celui-ci ne sera pas édité tout de suite. Dès cette époque et sans qu’il n’en sache rien, Bottaro est déjà publié en France grâce à des accords entre éditeurs.
- 1951 : il passe chez l’éditeur Alpe pour qui il crée Tim et les pirates dans le périodique Gaie Fantaisie, mais ce marin sera bientôt remplacé par un autre appelé à rester célèbre : Pépito ! Pendant ce temps, Bottaro travaille tous azimuts. On le voit ainsi avec Joe Polpetta pour l’hebdomadaire Lo Scolaro, puis le sergent Baldo, Maramao et Pop e Fuzzy pour Alpe l’année suivante, mais aussi Pik & Pok et le curieux canard Papy Popero pour l’éditeur Bianconi. À la même époque, il entame aussi une longue et fructueuse collaboration avec la branche italienne de Disney, la revue Topolino en dessinant son premier récit de Donald.

Il Sorpasso di Ferragosto
Il Sorpasso di Ferragosto
Il sorpasso, 1962, regia Dino Risi
A Roma, la mattina del Ferragosto 1962, la città è deserta. Bruno Cortona (Vittorio Gassman) , quarantaduenne vigoroso ma nullafacente e cialtrone, amante della guida sportiva e delle belle donne, al volante della sua Lancia Aurelia B24 convertibile vaga alla ricerca di un pacchetto di sigarette e di un telefono pubblico. Lo accoglie in casa Roberto Mariani (Jean-Louis Trintignant), studente di legge rimasto in città per preparare gli esami. Dopo la telefonata, Bruno chiede a Roberto di fargli compagnia: i due, sulla spinta dell’esuberanza e dell’invadenza di Bruno, intraprendono un viaggio in auto lungo la via Aurelia, a velocità sostenuta, che li porterà in direzione della Toscana, a Castiglioncello, raggiungendo mete occasionali sempre più distanti.

Santo D’Amico artist from the past
Santo D’Amico (11 December 1927 – 25 October 1995, Italy) artist from the past
After studying at the Liceo Artistico, Santo D’Amico moved on to study Architecture. While still studying, he presented his drawings and comics to several publishers. He had his first publications in Il Giornalino, doing lots of illustrations and “cinema novels” like ‘Sifrid’, ‘Capitani Coraggiosi’ and ‘Guglielmo Tell’. While also cooperating with Paoline publishers, he began a collaboration with Il Vittorioso, for which he illustrated series like ‘Na’Giamba’, ‘Speron d’Oro’, ‘Squadriglia Acrobatica’ and ‘Jolly’, the latter in cooperation with Roberto Diso.
He also worked for the French market, cooperating mostly with Diso on so-called “petits formats”. With Diso, he created ‘Dan Panther’ (1964-69), as well as ‘Atoman contro Killer’ (1965-66). He also worked on series like ‘Perceval’ (1959-60) and ‘Lancelot’ (also in cooperation with Diso, scripts by Jean Ollivier, 1965-87). D’Amico has illustrated 40 episodes of ‘The Phantom’. He spent the final years of his career working for Il Giornalino.
