The Story
A tale, a dragon, a city
The Adventures of Elba in Florence isn't just a travel guide. It's first and foremost a story - about a little girl and a dragon who takes her to discover the secrets of Florence.
The encounter
Elba is walking through the streets of Florence when she makes an extraordinary discovery: a small dragon named Arlo, hiding in the city's alleyways. Arlo knows Florence like no one else. He shows Elba the city's hidden treasures, the stories behind the monuments, the secrets that even the Florentines have forgotten.
The disappearance
The next morning, Elba wakes up and Arlo is gone. Where did he go? Why? Elba must find him, and that's where the real adventure begins. The reader becomes the hero: it's up to your child to follow the clues, solve the puzzles, and guide Elba through Florence to find her friend.
The treasure hunt
The book transforms into a real adventure through the streets of Florence. Each page leads to a real location in the historic center. Children must observe, look for details on buildings and squares, and solve puzzles to advance the story. Parents discover Florence differently, guided by their children.
The route
The treasure hunt takes you through the heart of Florence: from famous piazzas to hidden alleyways, along the banks of the Arno. The route is designed to be enjoyable for families, with a pace suited to children. Allow about 2.5 hours for the walk, with natural breaks built into the story.
