Fairy tale of paper

Buonconsiglio Castle - Thursday 5 July at 15.00

Sly foxes and envious frogs, clever storks and conceited ravens, mocking wolves and placid oxes are just some of the animal protagonists of the fairy tales (by Fedro and Esopo), frescoed in the lunettes of the Stua della Famea, the place in which the episcopal court gathered to eat and... to learn!

After the event, children can take part in a creative workshop to create their own Fairy tale of paper
