Opening the exhibition, there are some portraits of the Bonellis, of their son Sergio, of the patriarch Gianluigi and of his wife Tea Bertasi, a fundamental figure in the creation of Italian comics. In fact, she was the one who wanted to hire Aurelio Galleppini, a painter specializing in horse portraits, to draw the story of Tex Willer, the famous Texan cowboy sensitive to injustices, who solved the abuses with the use of his inseparable holster.

The tables, through which all the most famous characters created by the big names that make up the publishing house's family of authors come to life, are divided into large thematic sections and chronologically trace the history of Bonelli.

A roundup that will see Tex Willer, Dylan Dog, Martin Mystère, Mister No, Julia, Dampyr, Nathan Never, Zagor in the front row, but also the heroes who animated the newsstands of the forties and fifties.

All enriched with information and statistics for true enthusiasts.

Visitors will also be able to admire some drawings presented to the public for the first time. Some examples are: 'Tex and Mefisto' in an unpublished illustration by Magnus; the original drawing by Gallieno Ferri for the cover of number 52 of Zenith; the unpublished tables by Ferdinando Tacconi for Nick Raider; three illustrations by Claudio Villa for the covers of Dylan Dog; 'From the pencil to the net' by Luca Enoch, with the illustration of a table by Dragonero; the original drawing of Nathan Never as seen by Moebius.

Not just a celebration of the past, but also a look at future productions and sneak peeks. It will be an opportunity to preview, many tables of stories that will be released in bookstores and newsstands and as many multimedia projects for cinema and TV on which the Publishing House is working, such as the next film version of Dampyr and the animated series dedicated to Black Dragon.

The public will also be able to watch a promotional video that collects all the previews of the Bonelli universe, including some works in progress taken from future stories by Nathan Never and Tex Willer.

We will build small collages, made narratively from small sequences taken from Bonelli's comics. We will recover old editions, cutting out small comic sequences and leaving our cowboys and their companions the fun of composing them to elaborate their own story using the protagonists on display. This activity is bookable with supplement.
