Latina Comics & Games

The 2025 edition, the debut

Organized by APS Altri Caratteri with the patronage of the Municipality of Latina and the Lazio Region, the first edition brought over 30,000 visitors to the city over three days. Friday was dedicated to schools with Latina Comics & School, involving more than three hundred students in discussions on bullying, responsible social media use, and financial literacy.

Over the weekend, the program opened to the city across Piazza del Popolo, via Diaz, the Circolo Cittadino, and the Feltrinelli bookstore, which hosted the Comics Area: meet-and-greets with authors and illustrators, children's workshops curated by Spike Comics, Tunué, and the Latina Comic School — all of which were sold out — live artistic performances, distributed exhibitions, and panels on culture and inclusivity. The VR Arena, laser tag area, role-playing and board game sessions, and fantasy-style combat were major draws. The most anticipated moment was the Sunday afternoon cosplay parade, which turned Piazza del Popolo into an open-air set. Free admission for all three days.
