21 September 2008 – 1 February 2009 – Valentina, la forma del tempo
In English: “Valentina, the shape of time”
Guido Crepax is one of the most famous Italia comics author and illustrator and Valentina is his most popular character in the whole history of comics. Valentina is not just a symbol of transgression and femininity. She represents the inner spirit of Italian society and its epochal changes of 60s, 70s and 80s.

After 5 years from the Crepax’ death, this exhibition aims to analyze the author’s inner side by creating an exhibition developed in different rooms, as if it was a house. Every room represents a different way of thinking the “time”. Great importance is given to videos and sounds which create a special relationship between art & visitors.

  • Passante ferroviario: Villapizzone station
