The Good Night Shop

“La bottega della buonanotte” was born as a tribute to the splendid Gianni Rodari.

And from his wonderful stories he draws inspiration.

An extravagant and eclectic character appears on the scene. A sort of pharmacist, magician, cook and creator who, in her shop, receives phone calls from worried parents.

He listens carefully to the children's symptoms and, collecting the most disparate ingredients, goes to prescribe the right recipe, the best story to go and tackle the problem that disturbs the child's sleep.

Sincerity, listening skills, empathy, passion and a pinch of madness are the elements that distinguish this pharmacist/witch, in a colorful and fun (and not at all obvious) setting between stories, songs, nursery rhymes, music, in a pressing rhythm and in a continuous becoming.

Our darling leads the young audience into the world of Gianni Rodari. A place full of sound principles and pure, honest, sincere morals, where good triumphs over evil and kindness, generosity and courage shine as virtues.

A place where everyone's contribution can make this world a better place.
