"An ideal city to host the Festival - added the journalist Alberto Emiletti who with Martina Recchiuti leads the event and the newspaper - there is a community of ideas and visions about childhood that unite us". This year’s edition will be characterized by more guests, interventions, workshops (at the Museums) recovering the original intention, stopped by the pandemic: "A chance to compare and reason together create a live edition of the newspaper".

"Children and girls enter the space of culture and do it themselves, they are protagonists - said the Councillor for Culture Reggio Emilia Annalisa Rabitti - with an autonomy and self-awareness that makes this festive."
