The multimedia narrative designed and produced by Punto Rec Studios for Christmas in Turin.
A video projection on Palazzo Reale featuring stories by Gianni Rodari, children’s creative compositions, original music and narrated voices.
Gianni Rodari wrote wonderful fairy tales. Above all, however, he was a great teacher and pedagogue, who strongly believed that teaching does not simply mean transmitting notions to students, but also educating them to become better human beings.
The cornerstone of Rodari’s pedagogy is creativity.

Drawings
The children’s artworks, created freely using any technique without limits to their creativity, were photographed and animated in motion graphics by the composers of Punto Rec Studios.
Integrated with scenographies created using Artificial Intelligence, these compositions form the visual structure of the Multimedia Narrative that animates Piazzetta Reale in Turin, transforming it into a magical place of stories, colors, nursery rhymes and music dedicated to everyone—adults and children alike—rich in imagination and messages of peace, solidarity, inclusion and hope.
The voices of a children’s choir emphasized the deepest messages of the narrative. The stories were voiced by Alice Bertocchi and Francesco Mei.
