Italian cartoon director and animator Giuseppe Laganà
died on January 3, 2016 after a long illness. Born Giuseppe Maurizio Laganà in
Milan, Italy in 1944 Laganà started as an illustrator at a young age for Pierluigi
De Mas. He then entered the studio of
Bruno Bozzetto collaborating on three historical feature films as "West
& Soda" (1965), "Vip mio fratello superuomo" (1968),
"Allegro non troppo" (1976). A winner of numerous awards around the
world, in July 2015 Lagana was the star of an exhibition-tribute at the Rimini
festival "Cartoon Club" with "Dreams of All Colors and
Cartoons", a well-deserved if late recognition for his contribution to the
art of cartoons and film. Laganà was an animator on 1965’s euro-western
animated film “West and Soda” and was the director of the Italian animated television
series “Last of the Mohicans” (2003-2007).
