Hanspeter Wyss

Thun, 1937
His mother dreamed of him as a painter, his father saw him as a bank employee, but instead he became one of the most famous caricaturists in his country. Cartoonist, creator of animated films for Swiss-German television, author of various humorous books. For his work he received several awards, such as the Golden Dattero in 1987 and the Palme d'Or in 1988 at the Salone. Today he lives and works in Ponte Brolla in the Canton of Ticino and dedicates himself above all to painting and sculpture.

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!
