Following at 12 at the Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art “Ai Molini” in Portogruaro there will be a guided tour of the “15+1” exhibition dedicated to the authorial world of animated short films created by the Porto dei Benandanti Association in collaboration with the Viva Comix Association of Pordenone, as part of the 15th edition of the Piccolo Festival dell’Animazione.
