Ciao a tutti, I’m so excited to start our third week. The suitcase of Minitalia Lab starts to have so many things inside… We have been practiced how to say Shapes in Italian. For the rest of this Term we will still play with all different shapes to become confident with them and to create objects and why not, Portraits… I love to see things getting a new shape, different from the one they are suppose to be and it is so magic to see how the little hand of my MINI-EXPLORERS make them real! The imagination of each of them brings Minitalia Lab in the most wonderful land every workshop. This week after visiting the Sistine Chapel, we will build an house. My Mini-Explorers will have a special time under the amazing Fresco Painting of the great Michelangelo. The Sistine Chapel tell us through Michelangelo’s painting how important we are as People of this big world… Listening, watching, experiencing and participating actively to this wonderful trip make our Mini-Explorers to develop a multidimensional form of Italian. In this way language learning can be optimized by activating all of the senses and multiple intelligences. Our workshops are always designed to provide an inspirational experience in Italian to give access to our Mini-Explorers to their own creativity. I am very looking forward to see you make your house at Minitalia Lab!!!  

Ciao a tutti, Today I would like to start with a big GRAZIE to all of you. It has been fantastic to bring alive  Minitalia Lab, thanks to your visit and your fantastic smile! Now that we have packed the beautiful heart inside ourselves, we are ready to leave… and, of course our first stop will be Rome! Stepping in a new city, busy like Rome and walking around in each street, it will make our eyes go round and round. What you will find during this trip it is only about taking your own way the one you like to walk around… So, step on the bus of Minitalia Lab this week and make your own map. This workshop has been inspired by Piet Mondrian and his “The Style”, the Neo-Plasticism movement where the abstract and the geometry found an expression and where just the basic colours can bright a painting as the lights in the city. After he moved in a new city, Mondrian discovers a new way to paint in his work called “Broadway boogie woogie”. This week our workshop is designed to improve sensorimotor skills to give our little Explorer the opportunity to interact with the envoirment around. Imitation, memory, and tought stimulated by our creative play will help our little Explorer to discover the new magic words to put into the suitcase: Circle, Square, Rettangle and Bus all ready to go ROUND and ROUND in the fantastic world of Minitalia Lab. Looking forward to see you again!    

Ciao a tutti, first of all I would like to welcome all my Explorers. It is fantastic to share this page with you today. It has been a long trip and I am now leaving my first mark of Minitalia Lab. I am so happy to start this adventure with you and most of all with my little Explorers. I hope my English will make sense for you. I still have to work on it as it is my second language!! Let’s start… Our first journey is inside a story of a boy called “Blue” and his cow. We will FLY with them in many different places to discover that there is one big thing that makes us stronger: our HEART. I chose this book because is a travel inside ourselves and because I did the same trip that Blue and Cow have done in our story this week. I have traveled far away from my home and I found fantastic to mix my colour with so many different colours to get beautiful combinations and new gradients. It is like a rainbow! The light that unify the Sky to the Earth…which is the best place where you can  fly and discover that your heart can bring you everywhere… This workshop is inspired by Yves Klein, the artist of the BLUE. He has created the “International Klein Blue”a particular brand of blue, that even reminds me the “Azzurri”, the Italian soccer team. “Monochrome” is one of his most popular work that he has created to unify the sky with the earth. Our little Explorers will learn Italian this week through sensory and motor skills. They will leave a mark. The same mark of Blue and Cow, just as Yves Klein did for is work of performance art, call “Anthropometries“. After that you’ll be able to put in the suitcase of Minitalia Lab the four magic words of this trip: Fly, Heart, Blu Boy and Cow. They will sound differently for you… of course, you will listen all this story in Italian, at your Italian workshop!!! Let’s the magic start… Welcome to Minitalia Lab, the creative way to learn Italian.
