Discovering Lucio Trojano Lucio Trojano
Lanciano, 1934
Graduated in Law but passionate humorist, in his long career he boasts important collaborations with Italian and foreign newspapers and with Rai television programs. He is also the author of lively volumes on the ancient Italic people and his works are housed in various museums (Basel, Smyrna, Gabrovo, Tolentino...).
The list of prizes is equally rich. In addition to those of Bordighera (in 1990, together with his wife Marcella, he won the Palme d'Or for Illustrated Literature), in 1972 he obtained the
Strasbourg Council of Europe Award for the theme Venice must be saved; and then, the Berlin World Caricature Exhibition Award, the
Scalarini Political Satire Award, the Golden Valentine's Day in Terni, the President of the Republic Award (in 2011). Also at the Bordighera Show, he was part of the jury from 1979 to 1999, an activity which he also carried out in other national and international events.
ASSOCIAZIONE SALONE INTERNAZIONALE 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!
