52nd Edition of the International Exhibition of Humor
Theme of the year: GAMES, RIDDLES AND HUMOR
The Salone for three years has been part of a project managed directly by the municipal administration entitled "Bordighera city of humor", where the theme of the year is also extended to the Salone.
Even the surrounding events are shared and harmonized and in fact, the City of Bordighera organizes in the premises of the former Anglican Church a retrospective exhibition of Raymond Peynet with the screening of the film "The World Tour of Lovers by Peynet" directed by Cesare Perfetto with the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.
Gianni Li Muli presents “Sentimental Graphic Journey to the Time of the American Musical” a gallery of drawings inspired by historical characters of Jazz and accompanied by original Jazz music.
Some interesting conferences stand out: "Puzzles and humor" by Prof. Elio Macario, on how to smile through the enigmas proposed by the Italian language; and "How the joke is born" by Prof. Alessandro Zucchelli, or how to build humorous projects between depression and stress. On this occasion, Vezio Melegari presents the "New Manual of the Joke" published by Mondadori.
