The Prize

Ramarro, historic character created by Giuseppe Palumbo in 1986, in the pages of the historical magazine Frigidaire, the first masochistic superhero, makes fun of the war climate with Eva Kant, the companion of Diabolik, the king of terror, who attends and is about to intervene bizarre superhero damage. The three protagonists represented on the box are the characters that Palumbo has drawn for the longest time in his decades of activity. Diabolik and Eva Kant, which celebrate 60 years of editorial life, have been designed by Palumbo for 20 years.

The K Ration- Tagliapietre intended for a mature audience will contain, collected at random, Italian and French graphic novels, Italian adventure and comedy comics, underground and mainstream: all produced by the authors of via Tagliapietre. Plus some surprise gadgets, such as postcards, stickers or posters.

The Cause

Focsiv is the largest Italian Federation of Christian Organization about cooperation and volunteering; It was founded in 1972, today it brings together 94 Italian organizations present in over 80 countries. From its birth Focsiv and its Organizations have employed over 27,000 international volunteers who have made their human and professional contribution available to the poorest populations, to offer its support in the implementation of development projects in the social-health, agricultural-food, educational-training, defense of human rights, protection of childhood and adolescence, gender equality, in Italy and in the whole World.

From the collaboration between Focsiv and the designers of the Studio in Via Tagliapietre in Bologna, the fundraising campaign "Ration K - Focsiv" was born. The authors involved are comics and illustration professionals, a graphic designer, Nino Pellacani, old glory of Italian basketball, and an editor, Andrea Plazzi who has made many of the publications he edited available, as well as Francesco Matteuzzi, all gathered in the shared studio in via Tagliapietre.

It is a gesture to fight the violence of war with a source of survival such as imagination and reading. The idea is offering for the auction a unique object, a box with an original drawing containing a surprise made up of drawings and books: just like in the RAZION K of World War II, where a box containing food and cigarettes was distributed to American soldiers.

The boxes’ contents change according to the target, that can be adult or children.
