Stories of Children is the exhibition set up at the Real Casa dell'Annunziata in Naples with the drawings of Letizia Galli.
Until the end of February 2017 the Stories of Children exhibition will be at the Real Casa dell'Annunziata in Naples.
This exhibition allows you to admire the illustrations Letizia Galli that for years He tells stories with words and images for children. About 210 drawings will be exhibited in this ancient structure that once housed young mothers in need of help and children who were abandoned in the famous wooden wheel placed outside the building.
This is the theme that led the author to write and illustrate the book "Agata Smeralda", fulcrum of this exhibition. The author, after a visit to the Istituto degli Innocenti in Florence, decided to tell the story stories of thousands of children who found themselves in this and many other institutes scattered throughout Italy in your book.
The stories you have illustrated and narrated speak of children from anywhere in the world, the fears they face and the adventures they have to face each day. The exhibition starts from Naples and will touch other Italian cities throughout the 2017.
The exhibition is free, but there will be paid guided tours and shows, for those wishing to participate.
