(ANSAmed) - ROME, 03 GIU - The municipality of Milan is
dedicating the garden in Piazza Grandi to sisters Angela and
Luciana Giussani, creators of the iconic Diabolik character, the
criminal anti-hero who was the protagonist of a recent film of
the same name.
On June 15, a ceremony to name the garden after the Milanese
sisters has been planned, with the participation of cultural
councilor, Tommaso Sacchi, of Mario Gomboli, director of
publishing house Astorina, and of Claudia Sozzani, the heir of
the Giussanis.
Angela and Luciana in 1962 invented Diabolik, whose 60th
anniversary is being celebrated this year.
June 10 will be an important date for Astorina, given it will
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Angela Giussani
(1922-1987).
To celebrate the event, three monthly magazines (a previously
unpublished Diabolik, out on the first day of the month, and
reprints of Diabolik R, out on June 10 and Diabolik Swiisss on
June 20) will include 16 extra pages dedicated to photos of the
"mother" of Diabolik and recollections of those who knew her.
The seventh edition of Diabolik Magnum will also be published on
June 10 with the title "Cento volte in gioco". The volume will
open with a 32-page special dedicated to Angela, which will
propose a never-published interview given to Gianni Bono in 1973
with old photos and testimony by those who worked with her.
The never published 'Diamanti nei diamanti' will be out on July
1 while on July 8 the extraordinary reprint of one of the most
loved episodes, 'Diabolik, chi sei?' (1968), has been scheduled.
Together with the comic will be included two 'diabolik' poker
decks of playing cards with designs by Riccardo Nunziati.
