This segment takes place in Pigneto, a Rome neighborhood, which hosts a "Mercatino del Pigneto," or flea market, where used items, collectibles, and crafts are sold. Here you'll find everything and at reasonable prices.

In this video, Antonio speaks in more detail about Praia's Madonna of the Cave. He shows us the rock where the ship's captain set down the wooden statue in the 14th century and he shows us the room where the statue is now housed.

Antonio is in Praia a Mare and talks to us about the cult of the Madonna della Grotta (Madonna of the Cave), patron saint of the city. The cult began in 1900, and every year in August the statue of the Madonna is carried in a procession, where many of the faithful take part.

Sergio Cofferati, former mayor of Bologna, recounts his connection with Tex that began in 1952, when, as a child, the first comic strips read by his uncle deeply fascinated him. This video concludes the episode about Tex.

There are stories like the one that talks about Tex's past and others that tell of other characters without overshadowing him. We also see how the comic book format originated and how it has changed over time.

It was crucial for the different cartoonists to keep to the Tex standard. This meant getting the hats right. There was also an amusing homage on the part of Sergio Bonelli to one of Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns."

Tex is a character who resembles his creator, who in turn also has his own points of reference. Let's also see what's behind a Tex cover.

This segment looks at Tex's son and "pards" (partners). And we get some answers about why he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Gianluigi and Sergio Bonelli both wrote Tex stories, but they had different approaches, and their relationship was complex on a personal level. We learn about what inspired the images of the countryside where Tex and Carson would roam.

It's fascinating to see where the idea of Tex Willer came from and how it evolved. We get to know the creators, Gianluigi Bonelli and Aurelio Galleppini (pen name Galep).

What kind of guy was Tex? For the most part, he was tutto d'un pezzo (a straight shooter). But sometimes it would depend on who was writing the story.

Tex Willer is the main fictional character of the Italian comics series Tex, first published in Italy in 1948. The series is an Italian take on the American Old West.

This segment is about the film that was made of the Diabolik story. Not everyone was satisfied, including the Giussani sisters, but in those days, certain international standards had to be respected.

Over time, Diabolik gained new status. It became cool. Nowadays, whether you read comic books or not, you know who Diabolik is.

Some of the stories in Diabolik come from the outside, notably from readers. A few of them are recounted here. They often related to controversial topics in the news and in some cases, charges were pressed and copies of the comic book were seized and destroyed.
