Cinema, entertainment and popular culture

In cinema and entertainment, Pop Culture has been expressed through personalities who helped define new narrative and visual languages. These include Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Federico Fellini, Sophia Loren and Totò.

Fashion and comics

Fashion and comics are also part of the story of Pop Culture. In these fields, figures such as Coco Chanel, Giorgio Armani and Stan Lee stand out for their contribution to internationally recognisable aesthetics and narratives.
