Asti Comics
The comic book, cosplay, and pop culture fair in the heart of Asti
About Asti Comics
The nerd fair of Asti
Founded in 2023 by Luca Gippa, Nicolò Pujia, and Daniele Cognetto, Asti Comics has grown to become the premier event dedicated to comics and pop culture in the Asti area. The fair transforms the capital of the Province of Asti, in the heart of Piedmont, into a hub for fans of comics, cosplay, anime, video games, and collectibles.
Where and how
The event takes place in Piazza Cosma Manera (the former Piazza d'Armi), a space of over 20,000 square meters featuring a large covered marquee, outdoor areas, a food court, and a main stage dedicated to events. Its central location, just a few minutes' walk from the Asti train station, makes the fair easily accessible from all over Piedmont and neighboring regions.
What to expect
- Dub Zone — the voice acting stage, featuring live dubbing sessions, panels, and meet-and-greets with the most beloved voices from Italian animation and cinema.
- Artist Alley — an area dedicated to comic artists and illustrators, featuring Italian designers and Disney authors.
- Cosplay Contest — a competition for the best costumes, judged by guest cosplayers with prizes to be won.
- Gaming Areas — retro video games, board games, and role-playing games.
- Themed gatherings, live music, pop culture guests, and stalls selling gadgets, manga, and collectibles.
An event for the community
Beyond entertainment, Asti Comics focuses on educational and inclusive projects developed with local schools and associations, cementing its status as a cultural event deeply rooted in the Asti community and capable of attracting visitors from across Piedmont.
