Monopoly Events, the powerhouse behind some of Europe’s most successful pop culture conventions, is set to expand its footprint into Italy with a bold new initiative launching in 2026 and 2027. The company, renowned for organizing blockbuster events such as Comic Con Manchester, For The Love of Sci-Fi, Liverpool Comic Con, and For The Love of Horror, has officially entered into a strategic partnership with Italian entertainment visionaries Alessio Filippelli and Giuliano Squitieri to bring an unparalleled comic con experience to Italy.
This expansion marks a significant milestone for Monopoly Events as it continues to dominate the European convention scene. With a track record of delivering immersive, large-scale fan experiences featuring A-list celebrity guests, exclusive panels, and world-class exhibitors, the company is now poised to introduce Italy to a new level of pop culture entertainment.
Alessio Filippelli, a respected industry expert known for his deep ties to the Italian film and media landscape, and Giuliano Squitieri, a dynamic force in event production and cultural promotion, bring their extensive local expertise to this partnership. Their collaboration with Monopoly Events will ensure that the Italian editions of the convention maintain the high standards, guest rosters, and fan engagement that have made Monopoly’s events the most sought-after in Europe.

The first event just announced under this partnership will be “For The Love of Vampire Diaries,” debuting in Milan, Italy in 2026. Featuring an exciting lineup of Vampire Diaries guests, this marks the first official Vampire Diaries convention in Italy since 2015, making it a landmark moment for fans across the country.
