Piombino, 1923 - 1974
Born Marino Guarguaglini. In his unfortunately short life he was mainly an illustrator of children's books and the author of comics such as the popular strip Cuoricino (with a clear homage to the novel Cuore by Edmondo De Amicis) created for the weekly magazine Il Monello. He collaborated for many years with the weekly magazine Il Guerin sportsman, drawing caricatures of the protagonists of sport. He created a famous series of tender and humorous cartoons inspired by the life of the homeless in Milan, later collected in the volume I Barboni Visto da Marino, which won the Palme d'Or in 1960. In 1965 he won the Palme d'Oro for humorous drawing.
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!
