Edition 2025 — Etna Comics
The 2025 edition of Etna Comics, the thirteenth, confirmed Catania as one of Italy's pop culture capitals, with the Le Ciminiere exhibition center literally swarmed by fans, families, and the curious, totaling over 100,000 visitors over four days.
Notable guests included Japanese mangaka Yumiko Igarashi (author of Candy Candy), actor Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter saga), American artist Alex Saviuk (Spider-Man), and writer Mauro Boselli (Tex and Dampyr), alongside streamer Pow3r, influencer Sabrine El Mayel, and science communicator Vincenzo Schettini. The festival extended from Le Ciminiere to the Asian Wave area at Piazza Giovanni XXIII, Piazzale Rocco Chinnici, and the Palazzo della Cultura, with exhibitions open for free until June 15. The final charity auction raised 8,730 euros thanks to works donated by artists.
