Moebius who loved Naples
Lived between 1938 and 2012, Jean Henri Gastod Giraud (aka Moebius) is universally recognized as one of the greatest cartoonists of all time and certainly the largest of those of French origin.
During his career Moebius told the city of Naples well twice in its comic stories. The first in the comic story See Naples, the second in the work Die and then see Naples.
The author was so strongly inspired by the Neapolitan city that he once declared: "Whenever I work on one story about Naples there are no problems: everything runs smoothly. Naples has something that fascinates me, that always touches me in a special way".
The exhibition La Ricerca del Tempo also intends to investigate and dissect the artistic relationship between the great French cartoonist and the city that inspired him more than any other.
