26-28 May. The third edition of ARF!, a comic-art festival of "stories, signs and drawings", takes place at MACRO Testaccio over the weekend of 26-28 May.

The three-day festival features some of Italy's best-known comic artists and publishers, and includes exhibitions, meetings, master-classes, and creative workshops for children.

A highlight of the event is the launch of MACROMANARA: Tutto ricominciò con un’estate romana, an exhibition dedicated to the erotic illustrations of Milo Manara, with a particular focus on his relationship with Rome and the cinema, running until 9 July.
