Savix Comics & Bricks

Savix Comics & Bricks, the pop festival of Savigliano

Savix Comics & Bricks is the festival that brings the universe of contemporary pop culture to the heart of Savigliano, a city in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont, every spring. Comics, manga, anime, cosplay, video games, and the famous LEGO bricks come together for three days of events spread across the squares and historic palaces of the city center. Organized by the Municipality of Savigliano, the event has grown rapidly to become one of the most popular nerd gatherings in the North-West, with an audience exceeding 27,000 visitors.

A historic center transformed into a pop village

The winning formula of Savix is its integration into the urban fabric: the entire center of Savigliano is divided into themed areas, each hosted in a square or a historic building. The Main Stage in Piazza Cavour hosts concerts and official ceremonies, while the Media Stage in Piazza Turletti is dedicated to talks, workshops, and guest meetings. The Expo Area stretches between Piazza Santarosa and Via Sant'Andrea with exhibitors of comics, gadgets, and collectibles; the Games Area in Piazza del Popolo brings together board games, role-playing games, and arcade cabinets; and the Artist Alley in Piazza Cesare Battisti hosts designers and illustrators.

The soul of bricks and Japanese culture

The core identity of the event is the Bricks Area, set up in the charming cloisters of the University of Savigliano and in palaces such as Palazzo Taffini and Palazzo Cravetta, where dozens of exhibitors present spectacular LEGO brick constructions. There is also the Japan Area, dedicated to Japanese traditions, culture, and cuisine, and the Cosplay Area, a meeting point for cosplayers ahead of the competition that awards the best costumes.
