The Treasures of Venice Pop-up
Discovering the city through the magic of pop-ups. The marvels of Venice, a magical city suspended like a dream between water and sky…For children, Venice is a Wunderkammer in the literal sense of the term, full of surprises. As they venture into this world of magic, we watch their eyes fill with wonder. This is the first attempt in the world to reproduce the city in a pop-up book for children, taking them on a fascinating tour of its most famous monuments, described in simple but never banal words. The monuments illustrated in the book: Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Basilica, Ca’ d’Oro, Doge’s Palace, Santa Maria della Salute, Gran Teatro la Fenice.

Back to School in Italy
School is different in Italy. During the summer in the United States families are pummeled with ads for school supplies, clothing, and stuff for making quick brown bag lunches. At the start of summer, the stores remind you that school is just around the corner and by the end of August, you feel as though you are already smack in the middle of Halloween and Thanksgiving. In Italy, people consider the summer, especially August with its vacation days and Ferragosto celebration, magical.

The Fun Fig
I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a fig picked right from the tree and it immediately brought me back to my youth. Growing up Italian-American it seemed only natural to have 4 fig trees in my backyard. Of course I later found out that most of my classmates had apple trees in their backyard and that I was the rare person with the fig trees blossoming full of figs in my backyard.
