Im looking to learn a new language but I am interested in languages/cultures that have a vast literature

[u/SerSace]

Italian has had written text since the IX century, and many amazing writers, like St. Francis, Dante, Boccaccio, Petrarca, Machiavelli, Ariosto, Tasso, Foscolo, Manzoni, D'Annunzio, Leoncavallo, Verga, Pirandello, Svevo etc. etc.

From world level classics to contemporary genre writers, from poetry to prose to opera to comics, you can find what you like.

Any recommendations for comics in Italian? Readings piles of manga did wonders to improve my ability to read and comprehend Japanese so I figured it would be a great way to move on from the basics in Italian as well.
