Lake Como Comic Art Festival
The great masters of international comics at Villa Erba, on Lake Como
About LCCAF
Author's comics on Lake Como
The Lake Como Comic Art Festival (LCCAF) is an international festival dedicated to the art of comics, hosted in the prestigious Villa Erba in Cernobbio, in the Province of Como. Unlike large industry fairs, LCCAF focuses on an exclusive, limited-access format, allowing the public to have direct contact with the great masters of drawing, within the halls and gardens overlooking the lake.
A lineup of stars from the world of comics
Each edition brings together a roster of leading international artists, from the protagonists of American comics to the most celebrated European illustrators. Meetings, panels, masterclasses, screenings, and live signing and drawing sessions mark the days, offering enthusiasts an up-close and unrepeatable experience with their favorite artists.
Villa Erba, a dreamlike setting
The choice of Villa Erba, a historic residence on Lake Como associated with Luchino Visconti, gives the festival a unique atmosphere: art, elegance, and landscape merge in a setting that elevates the experience far beyond that of a traditional convention. It is this combination that makes LCCAF a coveted event for enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
A gem in Como's calendar
While targeting an international audience, the festival highlights the Cernobbio area and Lake Como, bringing a niche but high-profile event to Lombardy, capable of combining pop comic culture with the charm of the villas on the lake.
