Fairy tale characters such as Cinderella, Mirabel di Encanto, Pinocchio, and the Talking Cricket will involve families in an immersive itinerary to visit the Borgo, offering an experience in which spectators will become actors.
A Marriage of History and Magic
“The Borgo delle Favole joins the Borgo dei Normanni,” said Michelangelo Lurgi, indicating that this union will guarantee an extraordinary summer for children and their families. The Borgo, dating back to 1200, retains its original charm with stone streets and breathtaking views from the Infinito and Galino terraces.
