About the series

A gritty, street-level adventure set in 1950s Naples, Albo "Scugnizzo" follows the exploits of a resourceful young boy navigating the city's vibrant but dangerous underworld. Published by Tomasina, this 48-issue series ran from 1952 to 1953, capturing the spirit of post-war Italian comics with its focus on survival and local color. Most closely associated with artist and writer Tomasina, the series is a classic example of the fumetto tradition, offering a raw, unglamorous portrait of a scugnizzo—a Neapolitan street urchin—that resonated deeply with its era. Its matter-of-fact depiction of poverty and resilience gives it a lasting place in the history of Italian popular culture.
