Born in Rome, Landolfi attended various art schools including the Accademia where he studied painting, sculpture, decorating and scenery.^[1] He debuted as a cartoonist in 1947 with the character of "Joe", published by Corriere dei Piccoli.^[1] In 1951 he created his most popular character, Procopio, realized for the magazine Il Vittorioso until 1968.^[1] In 1968, he changed his usual graphic style for a critically appreciated grotesque-realistic version of Don Quixote published by Vitt.^[1]^[2]
