Eugenio Colmo, known by the pseudonym Golia (1885–1967) was an Italian cartoonist, caricaturist and watercolor painter.
[1] At elementary school he befriended the poet Guido Gozzano and Tancredi Vigliardi Paravia.
He enrolled to study law, but abandoned his studies to become an artist, beginning his career by writing for satirical journals Due di picche and 'Torino ride published in Turin, and the journal Ma chi è?.
During the years after the first world war, he continued his activity as a humorist, but also made posters and ceramic designs.
Between 1941 and 1944, he confronted a number of tragedies: his wife committed suicide, his house and studio were destroyed during bombardments, and he lacked commissions.
