“Childhood is that magical time in which there is, in every human being, an extraordinary richness of vitality, spontaneity and imagination, without conditioning or hypocrisy. That unrepeatable moment in which games and life itself are invented, by giving breath and movement to inanimate objects, even to simple forms, which are illuminated by a prodigious imagination”.
Franca Meo
