Dialects: One Story, Four Voices

Mickey Mouse in Neapolitan

The edition in Neapolitan dialect offers a tribute to the linguistic heritage of Campania, with the history of Uncle Scrooge that comes to life in the Neapolitan dialect. An unmissable opportunity to experience Disney adventures with an authentic and local flavor.

Mickey Mouse in Catania

In Sicily, the version in Catania gives the story a unique character, highlighting the expressiveness and warmth of the island dialect.

Mickey Mouse in Florentine

The dialect Florentine, a symbol of the Tuscan linguistic tradition, brings a touch of elegance and irony to the narration, respecting the peculiarities of a historically relevant language.

Mickey Mouse in Milanese

Finally, the dialect Milanese gives the story of Uncle Scrooge a lively and ironic vein, well rooted in Lombard culture.

The cultural importance of the initiative

Behind this extraordinary initiative is the work of a team of linguists coordinated by Professor Richard Regis, an expert in Italian dialectology. “It is a celebration of our immense cultural and linguistic heritage,” commented Professor Regis. The editorial director of Topolino, Alex Bertani, added: “Reading the misadventures of Uncle Scrooge in dialect was a real pleasure!”.
