Event 2023

39th Edition of the International Exhibition of Humor

Theme of the year: HEDONISM: THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE

  • A 'fanciful theme ", so it was defined in the competition announcement sent to all humorists that year. And fanciful was, as Serguei Goizauskas,  Argentina / France, sees an obsession in the human face or Alexandar Klas, Serbia,  where the executioner looks pleased with the work done ...

    Serguei Goizauskas, Argentina / France, is awarded the Palma d'Oro; Sergei Tunin, Russia, wins the Dattero d'Oro for the Fixed Theme and Jiri Sliva designs the poster. We note that Serguei Goizauskas is the satirical designer of "Le Monde" and the newspaper does not fail to highlight the event in its pages.

    Maurizio Costanzo wins the Palma d'Oro for humorous literature with "The rest is life". The presence of the author at the award ceremony attracted the attention of the media and the large audience to celebrate also the comedians of the Loano Cabaret Festival. The Giuseppe Balbo Academy in Bordighera organizes the Bordiquadro, a 320-meter-long roll of scenic paper on which everyone can paint whatever they like: an event that fits well into the week of the Salone.

    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.
