Luca Celoria, 46, screenwriter and Frederic Volante, 47, cartoonist, both from Imperia have created a comic strip on the training ship Amerigo Vespucci. It is a volume entitled ‘Come dei nella tempesta’ published by the Italian Navy. The title is derived from the slogan chosen by the officer students of the first year of the Naval Academy of Livorno's Kon-Tiki course at the conclusion of the 1965 training campaign aboard ship Vespucci. “It’s a one-off release – says Celoria – but depending on how it develops, it could become a series.” The book tells the story of three boys, who experience firsthand the summer campaign of the officers of the Livorno Academy. A space is then dedicated to the backstage of the ship’s ninetieth year, with anecdotes that tell the past and present activity of the Navy training ship.
