 The staff of Italy Family Hotels likes to think that the drowsiness of every child is accompanied by the reading of a fairy tale. Because not only fairy tales lend fantasy wings and help to dream, but they are also a valuable ally and a safe shelter to win the anguishes. Fit for letting us us identify and move, they go straight to the heart.
They talk about topics that are universally linked to fears of growth and use a plain and immediate language.
The atmosphere is wonderful, magical, the locations unspecified and suggestive.
The protagonists usually live a dangerous or extraordinary adventure.
To come out safe and sound they will learn to use better their resources and to rely on the help of the curious characters they would have met during the journey.
In this sense the fairy tales are for the child also an important stimulus to action.
Kingdom of pet names and diminutives, the fairy tales are populated by perhaps cheeky but certainly tender and innocent creatures, because childhood is so made and its sacred fire should never burn out.
Between "Once upon a time …" and "… and they lived happily ever after", castles in ruins, sinister towers, enchanted forests, terrifying witches, dangerous dragons and ferocious ogres, viscid frogs that ask to be kissed, deploy at the eyes of our fantasy.
A dark imagery in which suddenly a winged horse, a magic wand, a pair of red shoes or (finally) the handsome prince comes!
The magic that, if in reality does not exist (but love?!), should always be replaced by astonishment.
Go always beyond appearances therefore, never despair, even if sometimes the evil seems to triumph on good, and keep an eye on your own and on what surrounds you because maybe the key is where you were not expecting.
This is the teaching of fairy tales.
If you want then to invent a magical formula, and in case of need….There is no harm in trying!
Certainly in the libraries of Italy Family Hotels you will always find a lot of fairy tales!
