About Belgioioso Comics
Pop culture at the Castello di Belgioioso
Belgioioso Comics and Games is the pop and nerd culture festival held at the Castello di Belgioioso, an 18th-century residence in the province of Pavia. Comics, manga, video games, cosplay, board and role-playing games, medieval and fantasy reenactments coexist in a charming setting that serves as a natural backdrop for the event.
The Five Houses System
The element that makes the festival unique is the five houses system: after an admission ceremony, each visitor discovers which house they belong to and can follow dedicated missions and side quests. A widespread role-playing game that transforms the visit into a collective adventure and involves the public firsthand.
