AVENGERS THE MYTH - EXHIBITION MILAN (ITALY) 28/3/2015 - 31/5/2015

 

Hello Avengers fans!

 

With great pleasure I would like to announce that in occasion of the release of the new movie "Avengers age of Ultron", a fantastic exhibition devoted to the Avengers is being held from the 28th of march to the 31st of May 2015 at the prestigious Museum of Cartoons of Milan - ITALY

 

And ... with great pride I wish to announce that many prestigious vintage pieces on display (MEGO and Marx Toys, 60/70s posters, memorabilia and CGC comics from the Silver and Bronze Age) come directly from my personal collection ...

 

The exhibition is organized in 5 sections: Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Shield. In each area you can find objects, comics, vintage memorabilia, original drawings, movies costumes etc etc. all accompanied by explanatory panels that guide the visitors through the decades from the '60s to today.

There are also various sections devoted to Avengers-themed toys and models and a couple of interactive sites.

 

The national media have given a lot of prominence to this initiative!

 

A television report aired on the most important news channel of Italy (TG1) on the 1st of April 2015...You can watch it at minute 25:45

Great collection!

 

Congratulations!

 

Just wondering- are you originally from Italy?

 

Also- just out of curiosity, were the vintage Marvel pieces originally sold in Italy in the 70's-80's?

 

Looks great!

Great collection pieces and exhibit!

Thanks for sharing with us all!

[Hibou]

That looks very cool and a great way to showcase some CGC books outside of a comic con!

[Ronnylama]

I love Milan. I enjoyed the way the streets ran. Great Chiesa's and Museums as well

[Rockblazer]

What a collection! Federico, you should think about opening your own museum some day. At least an online museum .

[Marty Mann]

Truly a fantastic display and collection...thank you for sharing and bringing this

to our attention.

Awesome- thanks for posting the list- very cool!

 

Always wanted to visit Italy!

 

By any chance, if you see an Italian version of Batman 608 (Hush) in 9.8 condition (raw or graded), give me a holler!

[XXXPHOENIX]

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

 

Your nice comments are the best reward for me.

 

The idea of a Museum is challenging...but...who knows!!!

 

Yes Italy is awesome...each city has its own millennial story and culture...

Once in life you should come

 

AND YES...I DO LOVE your country too... my american friends

 

Ciao!

Federico

Amazing! Great job!!!!! I have always said the Italian cornos are some of the most beautiful Bronze age comic books ever created! From the cool extras added like posters and stickers to even little medals! To the thicker covers and great print jobs from what I have seen...... Thanks for sharing!
