Ascoli Comics & Games

Over the weekend of 14 and 15 June 2025, the historic centre of Ascoli Piceno transformed into a capital of pop culture. Along Corso Trento e Trieste, visitors could browse stands for collectible comics and special editions, attend meetings with authors, enjoy board games and video games, and participate in the large outdoor cosplay competition.

The indoor venues involved were the Libreria Rinascita, the Bottega del Terzo Settore, and the Palazzo dei Capitani in Piazza del Popolo, which also hosted a Photo Set area. Among the announced guests were illustrators Silvia Forcina and Mattia De Iulis, Ascoli-based cosplayer Edoardo Filiaggi, and comic editor Andrea Gagliardi. The free event, promoted by Experience Plus APS with over fifteen local associations, confirmed around thirty exhibitors.
