This stunning hand-painted panel by master Faustinelli is part of a personal collection directly from the artist.
Mario Giuseppe Francesco Faustinelli (Venice, November 8, 1924 – Milan, July 31, 2006)
He debuted as a comic-book artist in 1943, producing for the Albo d'oro Audace series, from the Audace Editorial, the humorous/adventure series Pompeo Bill, written by Gianluigi Bonelli; in 1946, together with other authors such as Hugo Pratt and Paul Campani, he created the series Asso di Picche, a kind of masked vigilante that would even lend its name to a magazine, with a poker card serving as his signature. The positive experience and the success of the series abroad led the group of authors to work in Argentina and Brazil. There he collaborated until the mid-1950s on the magazine Misterix, creating comic series such as Kim de la nieve and Pat Brando.
Returning to Italy in 1957, he became editor-in-chief of Selezione Romantica, an illustrated periodical of narrative published bi-monthly as a gift to consumers of a Swiss bouillon cube, and published until 1959, whose editorial office was located in the Cannaregio district of Venice. He then began a long collaboration for Corriere dei Piccoli with Rinaldo Dami and Carlo Porciani, writing stories such as the humorous series Apollo e Apelle, drawn by Paolo Piffarerio, and in 1963 creating the character Kolosso, as well as numerous texts for children's encyclopedias.
He collaborated with Maria Perego’s team on the series centered on the character Topo Gigio, and also co-wrote the screenplay for the stop-motion feature Le avventure di Topo Gigio (1961) together with Guido Stagnaro.
He died in Milan on July 31, 2006.
