Ohio Pen/10323521

NAPOLI, Italy - OhioPen -- Author, graphic novelist, artist, and filmmaker Ken Mora, is set to debut his much-anticipated Caravaggio: Scuro, Vol. II alongside guest presenter Maurizio Burale, historian and art director of the Pio Monte Museum, with a special event at the Palazzo Venezia on March 15 beginning at 6pm. The event is set to kick off with a special art exhibition curated by former Comicon organizer Alino, followed by an author book signing, and an open buffet.

"It is profoundly fitting that the Italian debut of the concluding volume take place in such a historic setting once visited by Caravaggio himself" says Mora. "I am deeply grateful to the Palazzo Venezia for opening their doors to this cultural moment and to Maurizio Burale for his commitment to the art community. I'm proud to be able to launch this epic Italian biography in such a significant way."

The two-part literary work published by Fumetti Zen Comics follows the wildly successful Caravaggio: Chiaro Vol I, which debuted at Comicon Napoli in 2025 to rave reviews. Certain to appeal to art fans and graphic novel enthusiasts alike, this Italian rendition continues the real-life trials of the volatile Italian artist and the revolutionary art through the context of his time.
