About the event

After last year's success, autumn-themed story readings return to the Sala Ragazzi (children's room), led by volunteers from the Nati per Leggere project. Two sessions are planned: Saturday 3 October and Saturday 10 October, both at 10:30.

Nati per Leggere is a national reading-promotion programme for families with preschool-age children, run by the Associazione Culturale Pediatri, the Associazione Italiana Biblioteche and the CSB Centro per la Salute del Bambino Onlus. Active since 1999, it counts around 800 local projects in more than 2,000 Italian municipalities, run by librarians, paediatricians, educators, public bodies and cultural and volunteer associations.

About Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda sits at the northern tip of the lake, where the cliffs of the Rocchetta drop almost straight into the water and the Sarca plain opens towards Arco.
