A theater of stories

Children and families at VIVE
Animated visit for families at Palazzo Venezia 
Sunday, January 25, 2026, 4:00 PM
 

The centuries-old history of Palazzo Venezia comes to life through an animated tale using Kamishibai, the traditional Japanese "paper theater." Illustrated plates and sounds from other times guide children to discover the Pope's passion for travel and the wonders of the world. Hall after hall, we relive stories of knights, kings, artists, and musicians who have inhabited the palace over the centuries. Mythological tales and notes suspended in time accompany participants on a journey between reality and imagination. At the end of the tour, the class is invited to give life to an original and collective story about Palazzo Venezia and its protagonists, using the Kamishibai with specially prepared paper scenery and characters.

LOCATION: entrance to Palazzo Venezia, via del Plebiscito, 118
