IL TAPPETO PARLANTE

A fantastic game-book for curious children

The Floor of the Cathedral of Siena contains many captivating stories and fantastic characters just waiting to tell their tale.

In this book, fairy-tale characters such as the sibyls and the magician, but also fantastic animals such as the griffin and the dragon, will accompany young readers, together with children, on an adventurous journey to discover the incredible stories enclosed in the coloured marble of the Siena Cathedral Floor: a real 'talking carpet'!

A game-book to introduce children to the world of art that will allow them to learn many new things while having fun.

To test their curiosity and skills, children will find the talking carpet game (a goose game with counters to be cut out), stickers with the characters from the stories told to stick inside the book, a crossword puzzle (with definitions to look up in the book), and a "spot the differences" in the scene of the beautiful inlay of Pinturicchio's Mount of Happiness.

By framing the QR-code on the flap, it will also be possible to see the video of the unveiling of the Floor of Siena Cathedral.
