Spectacular vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of the youthful Walt Disney, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Paolino Cotticelli, Saluti, Walt Disney, Rex July—35—XIII.” In very fine condition.
In 1935, Walt Disney traveled to Italy as part of a broader European trip following the international success of Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphonies. During his visit, Disney was warmly received by fans and cultural figures, and he met with Italian publisher Arnoldo Mondadori, whose company played a key role in producing Disney comics for the Italian market—helping to cement Mickey Mouse’s immense popularity there, where he is known as 'Topolino.'
