From May 31 to June 29, 2018, Palazzo Lascaris in Turin hosts the exhibition 'The Constitution in Color, The First 47 Illustrated Articles and Its History Through Satirical Drawing'

Opening today at 5 p.m. and running through June 29 is the exhibition “The Constitution in Color, The First 47 Illustrated Articles and Its History Through Satirical Drawing.” Set up at the Lascaris Palace in Turin, the exhibition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Charter.

The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first presents a series of satirical and humorous drawings extrapolated from newspapers published in Italy between 1943 and 1948, illustrating the difficult path that led to the promulgation of the Constitution. Among the most curious cartoons are those of Federico Fellini with a strip of Giacomino and the head of Giuseppe Garibaldi which, turned upside down, becomes the face of Stalin. The second part, on the other hand, displays the first 47 articles of the Constitution illustrated with unpublished cartoons by four contemporary cartoonists: Fabio Sironi (Corriere della Sera), Lido Contemori (former contributor to the Repubblica L’Espresso group), Marco De Angelis (was cartoonist for Il Popolo and contributor to Repubblica), and Gianni Chiostri (drew for the pages of Stampa and Avvenire).

The exhibition is curated by Dino Aloi and Claudio Mellana, president and vice president, respectively, of the Centro Studi Vivere dal Ridere, who will attend the opening with a talk by Mario Dogliani, professor emeritus of Constitutional Law at theUniversity of Turin.
Free admission. Hours: Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
