Armando Testa. Cucù-Tetè, a major retrospective dedicated to Armando Testa (1917–1992), the father of modern Italian advertising. Curated by Valentino Catricalà and Gemma De Angelis Testa, the exhibition celebrates Testa’s visionary creativity — from his iconic characters Carmencita, Caballero Misterioso, and Papalla Planet to his work as painter, filmmaker, and artist — revealing how his unique blend of art, technology, and irony continues to inspire new generations.
