March – June 2026 Formigine Castle, Piazza Calcagnini 1

FOCUS ON A series dedicated to those who love to observe closely!

What secrets lie behind the history of a plate or a bone die? FOCUS ON is an invitation to slow down and examine objects through a magnifying glass, discovering that even the most common item has a story to share.

A guided tour designed as a true “treasure hunt for details.” An exploratory journey where participants will learn to observe shapes and materials up close to uncover the history of the Castle!

This will be followed by a workshop session, where every child can give free rein to their imagination to create a “storytelling object” to take home.

Sunday, March 15 | 4 PM THE DINNER PLATE “Silent witness to ancient banquets: I carry the marks of time to tell of the warmth of the table and the joy of being together…”

Sunday, May 10 | 4 PM THE METAL BUTTON “Keeper of secrets and guardian of style: I am the precious detail that holds together garments, eras, and identities…”

Sunday, May 24 | 4 PM THE BONE DIE “I challenge destiny between a knight’s fingers: I am the small bone cube that decides the fate of an evening at court…”

Sunday, June 14 | 4 PM TALES OF FRESCOES AND WALL PAINTINGS: TREMLETT “Giving voice to the millenary silence of stone: I am the color that ignites the walls and transforms history into a contemporary vision…”

Maximum freedom for children! They can choose whether to follow the guide through the rooms or dive straight into creativity in our Atelier.
