for those interested in exploring the present
Benito Jacovitti was born in Termoli on 9 March 1923: one hundred years after his birth, an event dedicated to the famous Italian cartoonist.
He was little more than a child when he began to enchant adults and schoolmates with his drawings and characters. Over time Jacovitti developed a surreal style, full of comic elements, invented a language, creating characters such as Pippo Pertica & Palla, Cip l’Arcipoliziotto, Mrs Carlomagno, Cocco Bill, Zorry Kid, who entered the history of 20th-century comics.
