#141 I miss fumetti – 2

As we said everything started with Il Corriere dei piccoli, at the beginning of the XX century

Probably the most famous character is Il Signor Buonaventura (Mister Buonaventura’), created in 1917 by Sto, aka Sergio Tofano, actor, director, playwright.

Dialogues in Il Signor Buonaventura comic strips were couplet of ottonari in rhyme:

“Qui comincia la sventura

del Signor Buonaventura”

Tofano also performed Bonaventura…
