Born today Kurt Caesar
Kurt Kaisar (1906, France – 12 July 1974, Italy), aka Caesar Away, Jack Away, Avai, Corrado Caesar was born in Montigny-les-Metz in France. He attended the School of Fine Arts in Munich, and began his career as an international journalist for the German Ulman News Agency. In the mid-1930s, he moved to Italy, where he focused on a career in comics. He changed his name to Kurt Caesar, and started signing his pages with “Caesar Away”, “Jack Away” or “Avai”. A pilot himself, he specialized in aviation comics, but he has also done naval, science fiction, historical and western comics. Caesar was very good at desiging machines and aircrafts – that’s why he enjoyed drawing war stories.

Born today Marcel Navarro
Né le 29 mars 1923, il fait ses premières armes en 1941 comme journaliste à Lyon Républicain, un journal délocalisé en province pour cause de guerre. Il travaille en parallèle à la Société anonyme générale d’éditions (Sagédition), dirigée par Ettore Carozzo, où il réalise la mise en page de l’hebdomadaire Jumbo. Ce travail le met en contact avec le dessinateur et éditeur Pierre Mouchot (Chott) et avec Robert Bagage (Robba) tout en lui permettant de se familiariser avec le monde de la bande dessinée.
À la libération en 1945, il lance la collection les Histoires fantastiques pour l’hebdomadaire sportif Sprint où scénarise anonymement l’Agent secret Z 302 pour Robba, Billy Strong pour Chott et Captain Yank pour Robert Rocca[réf. nécessaire].
En 1946, il adopte le pseudonyme américanisé de J. K. Melwyn-Nash et imagine le personnage de Fantax, l’un des premiers super-héros d’origine française. Pour les éditions Pierre Mouchot, rebaptisées Société d’éditions rhodaniennes (SER) en 1951, il crée également plusieurs séries dont Big Bill le casseur et Robin des Bois.
En 1948, il s’associe avec Alban Vistel et fonde « Les Quatre Points Cardinaux », une société d’éditions qui publie un journal féminin intitulé Rien que toi. Le titre sera racheté par Dargaud en juillet 1951. La même année, il crée avec Alban Vistel et Bernadette Ratier la société Aventures et Voyages (plus connue sous le nom de Mon Journal). Il y écrit des scénarios de Marco Polo et de Brik et Yak pour Jean Cézard.
En 1950, Navarro et Vistel fondent les éditions Lug qu’ils dirigeront ensemble jusqu’en janvier 1989, date à laquelle ils cèdent leur affaire à l’éditeur Semic. Ami personnel de Gian Luigi Bonelli, fondateur des éditions du même nom (Tex Willer, Martin Mystère, Dylan Dog), il y publie de nombreux fumetti italiens qu’il dit d’ailleurs préférer aux comics américains.
Tout au long de sa riche carrière de scénariste, il aura collaboré, sous les pseudonymes de J. K. Melwyn-Nash et de Malcolm Naughton, avec de nombreux artistes : Antonio de Vita (le Petit Duc, 1955), Augusto Pedrazza (Zembla, 1963), Ivo Pavone (Rakar, 1968 ; Dick Demon, 1972) Lina Buffolente (Gun Gallon, 1968), Luciano Bernasconi (Wampus, 1969 ; Waki, 1974), Franco Oneta (Zembla, Oum le dauphin blanc, 1972), Jean-Yves Mitton (Blek le Roc, 1975 ; le Surfer d’Argent, 1980 ; Mikros, 1980), Ciro Tota (Blek le Roc, Photonik, 1980). Il engagea également Jean Frisano qui réalisa plusieurs centaines de couvertures pour des titres super-héros, tels que Strange, ou western : Rodéo, Kiwi, Tex Willer, etc.
Retiré en Provence depuis 1989, il est décédé en novembre 20041.

Graphic Novel celebrate 700th anniversary of Dante in 2021
Italy has established a national day dedicated to Dante Alighieri, known as the Father of the Italian language, to be marked each year on 25 March.
The annual event, to be known as Dantedì, was approved by the Italian government following a proposal put forward by culture minister Dario Franceschini.
The news comes as Italy prepares to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the death of the mediaeval poet and philosopher with a programme of commemorative events in 2021.
25 March was chosen as it is the date given by scholars for the start of the journey to the afterlife in Dante’s Divine Comedy.
Franceschini described the day as an occasion to “remember Dante’s genius throughout Italy and the world”, with initiatives to involve Italian schools and cultural institutions.
“Dante reminds us of many things that hold us together: Dante is the unity of the country, Dante is the Italian language, Dante is the very idea of Italy”, said Franceschini.

Il 25 marzo è la Giornata nazionale dedicata a Dante Alighieri, istituita nel 2020 dal Consiglio dei ministri su proposta del Ministro Dario Franceschini.
Il 25 marzo, data che gli studiosi riconoscono come inizio del viaggio nell’aldilà della Divina Commedia, ricordiamo in tutta Italia e nel mondo il genio di Dante con tante iniziative organizzate dalle scuole, dagli studenti e dalle istituzioni culturali.
L’edizione del 2021 è quella più significativa perché avviene del settecentesimo anniversario della morte del Sommo Poeta.
In questa pagina sono pubblicate le principali iniziative patrocinate dal Comitato per le celebrazioni presieduto dal Professor Ossola, quelle proposte dai musei, dagli archivi e dalle biblioteche dello Stato e dalle Città di Dante.
