Organized by Fiere del Fumetto with the patronage of the Municipality of Ancona, the event promises two days of fun and entertainment, with shows, special guests, contests, and activities for fans of all ages.
On Saturday, April 12, visitors will be able to play with Edoardo Brugnoli, known for his anime-inspired performances, and meet voice actress Giulia Maniglio.
One of the most anticipated moments will be the concert by Cristina D’Avena, the beloved “queen” of Italian cartoon theme songs.
On Sunday, April 13, it’s time for the K-POP Dance Contest by KST, where young dancers will showcase their best Korean pop choreography, and the Cosplay Competition by BHC, featuring fans bringing their favorite characters to life.
The weekend’s special guests include Flavio Aquilone, the Italian voice of Draco Malfoy and Zac Efron, and Marcello Cesena, best known for his iconic character Jean Claude from the cult series Sensualità a Corte.
Throughout the event, visitors can explore the market area, the gaming zone with numerous local associations, the Artist Alley, AIFA Cosplay photo sets, creative workshops, and a dedicated food court.
Free shuttle buses will connect the city center and the train station to PalaPrometeo, and some regional trains will stop at Ancona Stadio for the occasion.
