ONCE UPON A TIME LA COMITIVE - Marc FERRERO

LA COMITIVE AS A SOCIAL NETWORK THAT
FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION
• The new mayor of New York is someone who is short on
scruples, he is Dr TRUELOVE. While acting as though a
kind neighbour the money he distributes is to gain ground
and then he enslaves the people he is there to serve. His
desire for power knows no bounds!
• All the city's institutions, POLICE, THE LEGAL SYSTEM
and POLITICIANS are corrupt. The founder members of
the COMITIVE (LISA, CELLO and DUKE) have been
charged with fighting this corruption and cleaning out all
the various city bodies but for this they will need to recruit
large numbers to the COMITIVE who, in their turn, will
infiltrate these organizations in order to re-establish order
and save the city of Chaos.

What is the Comitive
An original concept
• The Comitive is an artistic project that breaks new ground; over the last 10 years the
artist Marc FERRERO has created the Comitive, (the word comes from an Italian
word comitiva meaning a community that is strongly committed to the same values
and which is therefore, already a social network. Each member of the Comitive has
his or her own special talent, they all live in different countries but they all come
together to solve a crisis. Their missions always have a positive aim and it is the
synergy of their talents that enables them to succeed.
• To date 2,500 of the storyboard canvases that follow the adventures of the Comitive,
made up of Cello, Duke and LISA, are in private collections throughout the world. On
FACEBOOK, Marc FERRERO and the Comitive have gathered more than 1,500
fans.
• Collectors of Marc FERRERO's work readily identify themselves with one or other of
the members of the Comitive because Marc FERRERO's gallery works like a
laboratory in direct contact with the public and this means he can suit the characters
to his clients and so he creates that link that is so vital to his success.
• The collectors then also become members of the Comitive and every year Marc
FERRERO sends them a membership card.

The strength of the COMITIVE
• The members of the Comitive are both men and
women and therefore it appeals to a wide
audience.
• The comitive's missions always have a positive
aim and they give the members a sense of worth
and a feeling of personal satisfaction.
• Each associate member of the Comitive brings
different character traits to it and so the ways in
which it is possible to identify with one's hero are
many and varied.

Lisa L’AVENTURA
AS Diamonds and pearls
• We do not know who she is, all we
know is that she is the grand
daughter of a famous American
novelist. Immensely rich she lives
between New York and Monaco.
Under the appearance of glamour
there is hidden a redoubtable
business woman, her address book
is to die for and she has access to
circles, throughout the world, that are
closed to others. A passionate art
lover she buys a work a day, to keep
fit she indulges in high class burglary
and shopping...
• Her look: VINTAGE, TOM FORD,
DIOR, CHANEL…

Andrew Michael PERCIVAL
AS DUKE king of cool
• One day rich as Croesus and the next
skint, he burns the candle at both
ends. A night owl, he roams the planet
following the biggest POKER games or
his favourite jazz musicians. For him,
life is just a game of poker where the
winner can only be him...
• A lover of English nonsense rhymes
and with legendary detachment, he is
a master in the fine art of bluffing. He
is never seen without his weapons or
his saxophone, firearms are an open
book to him and he handles dynamite
like an expert.

Marcello di Cordoba
• An Argentinean and a talented polo
player, he is to be found in the highclass
clubs of the world, thanks to the
competitions he takes part in. In the
Argentinean province of Cordoba he
lives in his ranch surrounded by his
horses, a few friends and his gambling
partners. Just as much at home in a
DOLCE GABANNA 3 piece suit as in a
poncho, he willingly seeks out the
extremes. He loves to tango as much
as he loves a knife fight.
• His team spirit is equalled only by his
fighting spirit but the area in which he
excels the most is in knife throwing.
