45 Italian and international artists took turns in the Performance Area during the four days of Lucca Comics & Games creating 56 paintings offered for sale in a charity auction.
On the occasion of the preview of the film distributed by 20th Century Fox on Peanuts, the artists paid homage to him and thanks to their precious work and the generosity of the buyers, Onlus Area Performance managed to raise over 25,000 euros.
This sum will be used to finance Dynamo Art Factory, one of the special projects implemented by Dynamo Camp, the first Recreational Therapy Camp in Italy for children and young people with serious and chronic diseases.
Like every year, the auction opened with the donation of the published comic, in collaboration with the International Comics School of Florence and the Pediatrics department of the S. Luca Hospital in Lucca.
The comic book aimed at creating pathways of informed awareness for young patients has the theme of compulsive crises this year, then developed by the screenwriter Manfredi Toraldo and illustrated by the artist Alessandro Giampaoletti.
