Favolento is out: Giovanna Mastrogiovanni's first tale
From the founder of Sapientium comes Favolento, an illustrated tale in four seasons for readers aged 8 to 17. Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
At Sapientium we have always believed that learning and dreaming go hand in hand. Today that idea takes a new shape: Favolento is out, the first tale by Giovanna Mastrogiovanni, founder of Sapientium and teacher of Italian literature and history.
Favolento is a small hamlet suspended between reality and imagination, inspired by the places and memories of a village in the Cilento. This is where Francesco grows up, a curious boy with a box of coloured pencils: across four seasons — Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn — he discovers friendship, love, family and the courage to grow up without forgetting what makes us special.
Favolento is a 69-page illustrated tale for readers aged 8 to 17: a great read for families, but also for classrooms, to talk about memory, creativity and growing up.
Favolento is available on Amazon in paperback (€ 13.92) and Kindle (€ 0.99). The tale is in Italian.
