Among the guests of honour confirmed for this edition of Romics are Riyoko Ikeda, Chris Ware and Claudio Villa, all of whom are celebrated figures in the world of animation.
"The festival is characterised by a cultural programme at international level, with high-profile guests, exhibitions, previews, special events and meetings with representatives of the most important international festivals, buyers and operators in the sector," remarked the organisers.
Attendees can expect to see all sorts of rarities at the event, as well as being given the opportunity to take part in the Cosplay Competition Romics 2010, with the heats and finals being held on October 2nd and 3rd.
Doors are open from 10:00 to 20:00 local time and tickets cost EUR6.50 (GBP5.35) or EUR7.50 for weekday or weekend day entrance respectively, while a four-day pass costs EUR15.
