Event 2023

33rd Edition of the International Exhibition of Humor

Theme of the year: GOLD OR SILVER RUSH!

  • The title of this year's theme is a challenging "implication" that has offered many ideas to the designers. Those who ostracize the wealth or the fluctuation of gold and those who strike the "Olympics of dissent" with corrosive humor. In any case, it was a varied and fun fair with a high level of graphics and content.
    For the first time, Cuban artists are taking part and a selection of Quebec drawings is exhibited, as well as a retrospective for the 45th anniversary of the Belgrade magazine, Jez.
    Hazan Fazlic, Bosnia, is awarded the Palme d'Or for drawing; Hans Stenzel, Germany, wins the Golden Date for the Fixed Theme; Lucio Trojano designs the manifesto. Vanni Ronsisvalle wins the Palme d'Or for Humorous Literature with "The Great Mummy".
    On the evening of the award ceremony there is an exceptional guest: Paolo Conte, the composer / songwriter, who receives the Rama di Palma d 'Oro for his career.

    Salone Internazionale dell'Umorismo

    The event could not have lasted for over fifty years without the contribution of numerous "volunteers" and "precepts" who brought enthusiasm and desire to do whatever the task received, with nineteenth-century shifts! From the choice of the drawings, to the preparation of the panels (always the same every year), to the posting with various pins of the hundreds of drawings up to the presence on stage.

    We therefore want to thank, in absolutely no order but with equal contributions, all those who come to mind, apologizing if we miss some, but we are ready to fix it!

    Sponsors: Agnesi, Olio Calvi, Olio Carli, Pallanca, Martini & Rossi, Atkinsons, Seat - Pagine Gialle, Fiat, Citizen, La Stampa, Radio Montecarlo, etc.

    The accommodation activities, Chez Louis, Bar GP, La Vecchia, Mino du Re Dolceacqua, Terme di Pigna, Ristorante Cacciatori Imperia, Hotel Michelin,
