The 35th edition of Romics is coming back to Fiera Roma (via Portuense 1645) from October 2 to 5. This international festival dedicated to comics, animation, cinema and video games promises a very rich and engaging program, with events designed for all ages and world-class guests ready to enchant the audience.
Romics: October 2025
At Romics there will be more than 350 exhibitors spread over five pavilions covering more than 70,000 square meters of space, an unmissable opportunity for those who love the world of comics, illustration and digital entertainment. Thanks to the support of the Lazio Region and the Rome Chamber of Commerce, there will also be a special area dedicated to local businesses and professionals, ready to uncover new projects and collaborations.
Among the big attractions of this year’s edition are two emotionally charged tributes: the Peanuts, celebrating their 75th anniversary with an exhibition featuring original plates and memorabilia, and the legendary Corto Maltese, celebrated on the 30th anniversary of Hugo Pratt’s death with awards and live performances.
Among the headliners will be four legends who will receive the Romics d’Oro: Fabio Civitelli, celebrating 40 years of work on Tex; Ron Clements, a symbol of Walt Disney Animation Studios behind such masterpieces as The Little Mermaid and Aladdin; Oscar Martín, the wizard of Solo‘s post-apocalyptic adventures; and Kevin Pike, master of special effects behind iconic films like Back to the Future. There will also be special recognition for those who have innovated comics, with awards to Jason Shiga and the duo Martin Quenehen and Bastien Vivès.
On Saturday, Oct. 4, the stage will light up with a unique concert by Cristina D’Avena along with Gem Boy for an evening of nostalgia and fun.
For families and the little ones, there is a dedicated area with creative workshops and many activities, while video game fans will find game areas equipped with tournaments, previews and the chance to meet famous creators.
