Candida la Marchesa

Over 22 issues from 1972 to 1974, Edifumetto’s Candida la Marchesa blended period drama with the publisher’s signature brand of adult-themed adventure. Writer Renzo Barbieri and artists including Alessandro Biffignandi and Studio Montanari brought a decadent, aristocratic world to life, one fueled by intrigue and sensuality. It stands as a vivid artifact of Italy’s fotoromanzo-influenced fumetti neri era, showcasing the lush painted covers and bold storytelling that defined the line.
