The statue reproduces the green superhero from Louis Leterrier's 2008 film of the
same name which is inspired by the famous comic book character from Marvel
Comics. It is a remake of the 2003 film signed by Ang Lee. Edward Norton plays the
role of the green giant and also contributed to the script writing. In this version of the
movie, Bruce Banner doesn’t become Hulk, due to the accidental hit of gamma rays,
as per Marvel tradition, but he undergoes an experiment at his own will. However,
Hulk always remains the good giant who just wants to be left alone.

Curiosity: Norton was also supposed to play Bruce Banner in The Avengers (2012)
and various sequels but was replaced by Mark Ruffalo. In an interview for the New
York Times, Norton explained that the reason for this change is due to different point
of views on the character. Norton wanted to give life to a cursed and introspective
Hulk, like Christopher Nolan's Batman, but the top management of Marvel Studios
wanted a lighter and entertaining character, and he gave up.

Stage sketch by Enrico Prampolini for Il colorificio del cielo first synthesis of Vulcani, eight chained syntheses, by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Staged by the "Compagnia del Teatro d’Arte" directed by Luigi Pirandello on March 31 and April 1, 1926 at the Teatro Valle in Rome, with two performances at the Teatro dei Filodrammatici in Milan and one at the Politeama Chiarella in Turin. Music by Franco Casavola. This is how Marinetti describes the scene in the text published by the Vecchi Publishing House in Milan in 1927: "The scene is dominated by the smoking profile of Etna. The clearing of a lemon grove closed by a wall of lava stones. In the background, on the left, the laboratory-house of the pyrotechnician Porpora. The facade is covered in cardboard overloaded with figures and painted with mysterious red yellow green signs. At the bottom on the right the farmhouse of the poet Serena. On the right, a low wall of lava stones looks in the distance at a large piece of very intense blue sea. On the left, a low wall of lava stones and cactus oppressed by a mass of tall gorse, clouds of dazzling fluid gold. A small door in this wall ".

In the photograph, the first panel of Mr. Bonaventura, published in "Il Corriere dei Piccoli" on October 28, 1917. It was October 28, 1917 when Mr. Bonaventura, with his red overcoat and trusty dachshund, made his first appearance in the Corriere dei Piccoli, clumsily swooping down on an unlucky thief and on the stolen goods, thus obtaining as a prize a medal that will soon become the famous millione. Since then, adults and children have joyfully followed the daring adventures of this nice and lucky character for about fifty years, born from the pencil of Sergio Tòfano, aka STO. The rhyming couplet lines that caption the drawings are more than just nursery rhymes. An entire generation has memorized the texts that invariably began with: "Here begins the adventure / mishap/ misfortune of Mr. Bonaventura ...". In 1927 Mr. Bonaventura  climbed onto the stage from the panels of the Corriere dei Piccoli. The character becomes the protagonist of six comedies written and interpreted by Tòfano himself: Qui comincia la sventura del signor Bonaventura (1927), La regina in berlina con Bonaventura staffetta dell’Ambasciatore (1928), Una losca congiura ovvero Barbariccia contro Bonaventura (1929), L’isola dei pappagalli con Bonaventura prigioniero degli antropofagi (1936), Bonaventura veterinario per forza (1948), Bonaventura precettore a corte (1953). The volumes of the Tòfano collection are precious: Qui comincia la sventura del signor Bonaventura, published in Milan by the Madella publishing house in 1927; the first collection of Il Teatro di Bonaventura for the Edizioni Alpes in 1930, which brings together the first three plays written between 1927 and 1929, which were followed, over the years, by other illustrated editions.

Consisting of a nineteenth-century puppet theater, it is preserved complete with the proscenium, a set of scenarios (38 scenes complete with backdrops and wings), furniture and props, 91 puppets (about 40 cm tall), a rich tailoring (costumes, footwear, hats), around 30 scripts. Due to the characteristics of the puppets, including lead hands and feet, their origin has been traced back to the area of Veneto, Friuli, Venezia Giulia, while numerous scenes recall the painters-scenographers who worked for the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.

The setting up of Gilberto Govi's Studio (1885-1966) at the Theater Museum and Library pays a dutiful homage to the great Genoese actor known throughout Italy, who also conquered the stages of Paris and South America, achieving huge success. The studio preserves all the original furnishings: Issel's desk and two pieces of furniture, Umberto Mastroianni's bronze sculptures, posters, photos, paintings including the famous one known as "The mask and the face" by Anton Mario Canepa, some portraits of Rina, the trunks and the "gipponetto" (the waistcoat) who became famous in I manezzi.

The model reproduces the spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, which is driven by Harrison Ford “Ian Solo” and by his co-pilot, the wookie Chewbecca. The spaceship is one of the main-characters of the saga “Star Wars” by George Lucas. The first movie was “Star Wars – Episode IV. A new hope” (1977). The other two movies of the first trilogy are:  “Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back” (1980) and “Episode VI: Return of the Jedi” (1983). In 1999 Lucas filmed a trilogy of the prequel, which means he represented the story which took place before the original trilogy. The titles are: “Episode I: The Phantom Menace” (1999), “Episode II: Attack of the Clones” (2002), and “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” (2005). In 2012 the Walt Disney Company bought the rights of the series, and they began the production of a new trilogy. They realised the sequel, thus representing what comes after the last episode of the original trilogy of 1977. These are the titles: “Episode VII: The Force Awakens” (2015), “Episode VIII: The Last Jedi” (2017), and “Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker” (2019). There are also two Anthology films: “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (2016) and “Solo: A Star Wars Story” (2018). Today the Star Wars universe is infinite just like the one in which the saga is set: multiple spin-offs, TV series, comics and video games. It’s not only a series of movies, but this is a cultural phenomenon which has affected different generations and continues to fascinate kids and adults, since 1977.

Fun fact – When Luke Skywalker jumps into space to save himself from Darth Vader, in the movie “Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back” (1980), he doesn’t actually scream. In the remastered version of 1997, they added the sound effect of the scream. This was not appreciated by the fans due to the fact that Luke not screaming emphasized that he didn’t fear death. In the following versions, the scream was removed and this detail remains solely in the version of 1997.

Curiosity: When Luke Skywalker, the protagonist, throws himself into the void to escape from Darth Vader in 1980's “Empire Strikes Back”, he doesn't actually scream. In 1997, in the remastered version, they added the scream sound effect. An idea that many fans did not appreciate. So, the scream was removed in the subsequent editions. To date, therefore, this detail has remained only in the 1997 version.
