Aronics - Comics, Games & Cosplay

The first edition of Aronics debuted on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, on the Lungolago Caduti di Nassiriya in Arona, marking the birth of Lake Maggiore's comic book fair. The highlight of the debut was the Artist Alley set up aboard a Navigazione Lago Maggiore ship, dedicated to publishers, authors, scriptwriters, and independent creators.

The program featured creative workshops such as "Draw your superhero" and EVA Foam prop-making workshops, board and role-playing game sessions with Angelo Porazzi and Adventurers Milano, 3D printing displays by 3D Bros Italia, and gadget stands. At 4:00 PM, the Aronics Cosplay Contest 2025 began, in collaboration with Multiverso Cosplay Italia, featuring 12 contestants and categories for best performance, best accessory, couples, groups, and junior cosplayers. Organized by Ethos Arts APS with the patronage of the Municipality of Arona, the event confirmed the strong local interest in nerd culture.
