| There are some pictures of Romano Scarpa: |
 | Romano Scarpa visiting "his" exhibition. He was here with his wife, who was reclutant to appear in pictures, but on some yet-to-be developed she will appear |
 | Scarpa drawing Daisy Duck for a fan: he tried to accomplish as many requests he received, but just few people had a full drawing... sadly, I'm not among them! |
 | Romano Scarpa and Carlo Chendi, an Italian story writer who worked with Scarpa, among their stories we remember "Zio Paperone e l'amuleto su misura" (I TL 363-A), "Paperino e il premio di bontà" (I TL 369-A) and "Paperino e gli anelli dei dogi" (I TL 406-A) |
 | Romano Scarpa and Giulio Cesare Cuccolini, a great Italian comic expert, during the meeting arranged to deliver the "Yellow kid" prize, devoted to people who works in the comics world |
 | Oscar Cosulich, Romano Scarpa and G.C. Cuccolini giving Silvia Ziche the "Yellow Kid". Silvia is a young (and nice) Italian artist who already gained a lot of appreciations with her works on Topolino |
 | Scarpa & me! Well, if I can't have a drawing, then I can have a picture with him! |
| Images related to his comics: |
 | The famous drawing Barks made for Scarpa with Brigitta, well, maybe it isn't made from Barks, but from Scarpa, because the original one was lost. This picture is about an idea Barks suggested to Scarpa who developed it in "Zio Paperone e il casco d'oro" (I TL 1061-A) |
 | A censored page from "Aventures à Eurodisney" (E GN 92-03), since the environment was too similar to the Lucasfilm stuff... well. maybe the picture is not very clear, but there were flying cars, cities from the future, more similar to a Verne novel than to Star Wars! |
 | Alternative and surprising ending for "Topolino e la fiamma eterna di Kalhoa" (I TL 303-A) where the evil queen is still alive and waiting with her treasures! |
 | An unpublished Topolino cover realized by Scarpa, I can't avoid to ask myself why it was not used. |
 | Another Topolino cover, not yet published. |
 | Drawing from "Paperino e il record forzato" (I TL 1224-A). There was a sign saing that the story was not yet published in Italy, but it was... three times! They better take a look to Inducks before writing such things!!! |
 | Original model sheet for Sgrizzo Papero, a Scarpa character developed by the artist short before Fethry Duck, he is as chaotic as Fethry, and was recently re-used in Topolino by Luca Boschi, after years of oblivion. |
| Images related to his cartoons: |
 | Ainhoo of the icebergs, an early cartoon from Scarpa, note both the presence of Atomino Bip-Bip, a Disney character from 1959: "Topolino e la dimensione Delta" (I TL 206-A), and Ainhoo's original name (not used) of Capitan Zenith |
 | A cel from "La figlia del mercante, a Scarpa cartoon with realistic environment |
 | Story board from "La figlia del mercante" where are shown interesting expressions of the young gal |
