Giorgio Gabellini

Giorgio Gabellini

Cesena, 1918 - 1996.
He is a chemist, but since the 1960s he has owed his artistic fame to the caricatures of characters from entertainment, sport and politics, first drawn on paper and then, from 1966, modeled with terracotta. In addition to collaborations with newspapers (Il Resto del Carlino and Stadio, among many), he participated in the first caricature exhibitions of Trieste, followed by the most prestigious humorous exhibitions in Italy (Bordighera), but also abroad, such as in Montreal, where in 1980 he was named Caricaturist of the Year at the Association of American Cartoonist convention.

Salone Internazionale dell'Umorismo

The event could not have lasted for over fifty years without the contribution of numerous "volunteers" and "precepts" who brought enthusiasm and desire to do whatever the task received, with nineteenth-century shifts! From the choice of the drawings, to the preparation of the panels (always the same every year), to the posting with various pins of the hundreds of drawings up to the presence on stage.

We therefore want to thank, in absolutely no order but with equal contributions, all those who come to mind, apologizing if we miss some, but we are ready to fix it!
