Maria & il Buio, 2021
2021
A monster in the night , an escape among the secrets of Siena, will little Maria be able to save herself, or will the darkness take her?
A book for Siena , a book for everyone.
Maria escapes the darkness through the streets of this magical town, the creatures from the palio help her, totemic animals of the districts of Siena. Born in a night of solitary quarantine, "Maria e il Buio" is an initiatory journey in search of the courage to face the night, a path that will inevitably end with the struggle with the greatest challenge, the one against oneself. The helpers of this adventure are exceptional archetypes, the animals of the districts of Siena so deeply rooted in the tradition of centuries but ready, as soon as possible, to move alive through the city, animated by their reference people.
