Altan. Pimpa Cipputi and Other Thinkers, Exhibition, MAXXI, Rome: until 13 April 2020

Altan is the protagonist of a major exhibition at MAXXI, created in co-production with the Solares Foundation and Franco Cosimo Panini Editore, curated by Anne Palopoli and Luca Raffaelli. 

Altan's is a world in which doubt is revealed as the only great certainty possible, in which the great myths of history are reversed and humanity tries to float in the disordered sea of ​​life. A little dog saves us who, strong in her desire for knowledge, smiles in front of the wonders of the universe.

Altan's characters are all free thinkers, so free that they can confess their desire for self-destruction to themselves and to the world. But their thinking is always a revelation, it's what we were going to say, that which we had on the tip of the tongue. Altan reveals it to us with surprising lucidity. As if he were always one step ahead of us.

Here is, finally, the complete exhibition of an author capable of moving easily between drawings dedicated to childhood and adventure comics, between illustrated novels and animated films, between cartoons and screenplays.
