Come, come! And learn the beautiful story of Campofelice!

-Alessandro Abrami

On a beautiful land surrounded by the sea, there’s a small village called Campofelice... Over there, the sky is always blue and the sea... ah, the sea is the most beautiful you will ever be able to see.

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful land called Campofelice"

-Carlo Ehab

In that place the sun always smiles brightly and brightens up the hearts of the inhabitants; when the fields need to be irrigated, the sun leaves its space to the clouds full of rain.

"In that town, the sun always shines"

-Diego Sancrotti

The funny thing of this place is that once upon a time it wasn’t happy at all! In fact its name used to be Campotriste. The sky was always grey, the sea always covered by a very thick fog... and the fields? Well... you could never see a bud, not even a small one.

"The previous name of the town was Campotriste"

-Lucia Colombo

The inhabitants of Campotriste seemed colorless, they always had a gloomy air and very sad eyes: people just though for themselves and did whatever they wanted, that’s why fights were everyday’s routine and the words used were so bad to give chills.

"There was always a bad weather and everyone was always sad"

-Giorgio Boni

Mr. Salvatore, the mayor of Campotriste, had tried to change the situation, but the citizens didn’t want to get along, and what’s worse, is that they taught their children to act the same way!

"Its mayor was Mr. Salvatore, he had tried to change things, but with no results"

-Elisa Arghenini

Children in Campotriste didn’t ever listen to anyone; they were always dirty and rude. At school they didn’t want to learn, and their teachers changed very often because no one of them could stand them for more than a week.

"No teacher wanted to work with those children"

-Mathilde Andena

The same story even at the beach and to the park. They couldn’t play together because no one of them was able to play by the rules. The most terrible thing though, was that the inhabitants of the nearby cities were starting to behave in the same way, everything was a real chaos.

"The people of the other cities were starting to behave in the same way"

-Cristiano Parati

However, the Mayor, didn’t lose hope and he started looking for help to bring joy and happiness in the city of Campotriste. One day, the inhabitants heard a loud noise coming from the sky, and suddenly a very strong wind swept away all the clouds.

"One day a strong wind wept the clouds away"

-Domenico Trecca

A colorful helicopter appeared in the sky and it stunned all the inhabitants of the sad city. The helicopter landed in the town square and immediately afterwards a cheerful woman dressed in yellow came down smiling. Her name? Rosalia!

"Rosalia, a teacher, jumped off the helicopter"

-Vittoria Concardi

Rosalia was a young teacher who started working in the school. Obviously, the children didn’t make it an easy task, but with sweetness, hope and much love, Rosalia will be able to perform a real miracle! Do you want to know how?

"The new teacher started working in Campotriste’s school"

-Mattia Redegalli

One day a little girl hurt herself by bumping into a bench while running around the class. Rosalia, instead of scolding her for not respecting the rules, she embraced the child to console her.

"Rosalia, immediately gained the children’s trust"

-Bianca Cazzamali

Boys and girls, who had never received affection from anyone, finally began accepting the new teacher, they were finally learning to love someone.

"On the one hand, all the children were starting to love someone"

-Aida Maldotti

In the meantime, Mayor Salvatore was trying to bring peace among the adults, but it was much more difficult than doing it among the children;

adults did not let themselves be conquered by a simple hug like it happened with children and their meetings often ended up in fights.

"On the other hand, adults kept fighting"

-Serena Giulieri

Despite all Salvatore did not give up, he believed in justice, in kindness and respect. He loved people and loved to see them happy, he knew that

if he hadn’t given up, sooner or later the sun would have come back to shine on the city of Campotriste.

"But the mayor did not want to give up"

-Giorgio Picco

One day, while he was walking the streets of the town, the mayor stopped in front of Rosalia’s school. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea, he knew

exactly how to bring joy in Campotriste.

And one day he got a brillant idea
