Animated tours

A secret garden, a market, two majestic complexes: leafing through ancient and modern maps of Piazza Venezia is like traveling back in time, like an illustrated history book. This engaging tour guides the public through the historical and artistic events of this area of Rome and its buildings: Palazzo Venezia, one of the city's most distinguished Renaissance residences and the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of Italy. Each participant will create their own "emotional map" to capture a snapshot of Vittoriano, the details and colors of the frescoes in Palazzo Venezia, the story that most fascinated their imagination, and a proposal for the city's future.

The centuries-old history of Palazzo Venezia comes to life through an animated story told with Kamishibai, the traditional Japanese "paper theater." Illustrated boards and sounds from another time guide children to discover the pope's passion for travel and the wonders of the world. Room by room, they'll relive the stories of knights, kings, artists, and musicians who inhabited the palace over the centuries. Mythological tales and timeless notes accompany participants on a journey between reality and imagination. At the end of the tour, the class is invited to create an original, collaborative story about Palazzo Venezia and its characters using the Kamishibai, with specially prepared paper scenarios and figures.

An imposing staircase, statues that seem to come to life, and terraces that touch the sky: Vittoriano is transformed into a place to be explored with curious eyes, step by step. Participants embark on a journey to discover the history of men and women who, with courage and determination, helped build Italy. It's a tour through ideals of freedom, unity, and peace, told through symbols, sculptures, and unforgettable views. The monument, with its representations of seas, cities, and regions, becomes a map of an Italy united not only in history but also in its territory. During the tour, the experience is sealed in memory with the creation of an illustrated postcard: a personal and colorful souvenir made of emotions, details, and images, as a testament to the journey just experienced.

An animated journey with rhymes and short stories guides children on a discovery of Italy before unification and the brave deeds of its key figures: Garibaldi's adventures between two worlds, Mazzini's travels across Europe, and the courage of female patriots. Through rhymes and words, they enter into history and, while walking through the halls of Museo Centrale del Risorgimento, they discover the stories hidden behind portraits, objects, and relics. At the end of the tour, participants are asked to create a collective visual narrative—in the form of a comic strip—that tells the stories of the episodes and people they found most significant.
