Benito Jacovitti made his debut as a comics author at a very young age and then became an important reference name for comics. From his pen and his tables come characters who have become famous in the popular imagination, such as Cocco Bill, Zorry Kid, Jack Mandolino, Tom Nosy. Jacovitti published strips in Il Vittorioso, Corriere dei Piccoli and Corriere dei Ragazzi, and drew the cartoons of the Diario Vitt, which accompanied generations of young Italian students for more than thirty years (1949 – 1980).

Together with the exhibition at MAXXI, in tandem the MACTE Museum of Contemporary Art of Termoli presents Tutti le follie di Jac! (7 October 2023 – 26 February 2024), curated by Luca Raffaelli, to delve into technical and linguistic inventions that have made "the fishbone" a recognizable style, and Jacovitti an inventor of unforgettable signs and characters. The two projects, parallel and complementary, under the single title Jacovittissimamente, transport the viewer into the animated and dynamic world invented by the artist.
