In the early 1960s, he was influenced by the American cartoonist Don Martin. Born in Rome in 1935, Tiberio Colantuoni https://www.lucianobottaro.it/la-biografia/tiberio-colantuoni/ studied at the School of Ceramic Art in Civita Castellana, then devoting himself briefly to the activity of a ceramic painter. In 1953, after meeting the designer Jacovitti – who taught him the rudiments to become a good cartoonist – he abandoned ceramics to devote himself exclusively to comics. In the 1960s, Bongo’s little readers https://sbamcomics.it/prodotto/bongo-di-tiberio-colantuoni/ love that gorilla so much that between 1970 and 1976 it even had its own independent newspaper.
In our time, his comics of Popeye, Nonna Abelarda and Geppo are perceived as an art form. The choice to devote himself to comics was also encouraged by the meeting with the manager of an agency distributing comic books for children. Tiberio Colantuoni http://www.lfb.it/fff/fumetto/aut/c/colantuoni.htm decided to move to Milan, where he attended the Brera Academy and came into contact with the publisher of two highly successful comics. He not only made scripts and drawings for the stories of Pinocchio and Popeye, but also humorous cartoons in a newspaper, as well as illustrations for Mondadori. If you love light fiction, the editor Sbam! published in 2020 a book by this designer, “The Story of Pattumix” https://www.mondadoristore.it/libri/Tiberio-Colantuoni/aut00309422/.
