There is a new mouse-tastic treasure hunt dedicated to the beauties of Italy. The protagonist is Geronimo Stilton – the mouse journalist most loved by children all over the world. Born from an idea of Elisabetta Dami, Geronimo explores our country in a new 224-page book entitled Mille Meraviglie Viaggio alla scoperta dell’Italia (A Thousand Wonders. A Journey to Discover Italy) and which you can browse online on Italiana, the newly opened website dedicated to Italian culture curated by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Coperation.
A special project of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with the Italian National Commission for UNESCO, this book was produced by Edizioni Piemme-Mondadori Libri with the aim of introducing girls and boys from all over the world to the artistic and cultural wonders of Italy. Accompanied by his entire family, in Mille Meraviglie Geronimo Stilton travels the country to discover cities, villages, stories and landscapes. From Rome to Venice, from the Apennines to the Alps, the friendly reporter visits the most famous monuments and places (including many of Italy’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites), without forgetting the hidden gems: lesser-known treasures, gastronomic specialities, places of scientific research, craftsmanship and industrial products. An adventure imagined as a real treasure hunt, full of games, curiosities and surprises.
The digital version of the book can be viewed on Italiana at this link, where you can also download a digital passport which will allow you to follow in the footsteps of our hero’s adventure to discover a thousand Italian wonders.
