Event Catalog • 20th Edition

Romics is an international semiannual comic book, animation, and gaming convention in Rome, Italy. The event takes place over four days, usually during April for the spring edition, and October for the autumn one. Until the twelfth edition in 2012, it was held annually, most often in October. The event is held, for both its editions, in the Rome trade fair district.

Its annual attendance is generally around 400,000 visitors, the program is divided into over 100 presentations, simultaneously in the 5 pavilions and with over 250 exhibitors in an area of 70,000 m2.[1]

As part of the event, the Grand Gala of Dubbing [it] (Romics DD) is being held, an event dedicated to dubbing into Italian language. The Gala includes awards for dubbing in several categories.[2]

History

[edit]

In 2001[3] was born in Rome, in the old exhibition center, in Via Cristoforo Colombo, the festival of comics, animation, and video games under the artistic direction of Luca Raffaelli who, after the tenth anniversary edition, abandoned the project due to differences with the production on the cultural identity of the event.[4]

Both the 2020 and spring 2021 editions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
