Stories on the Balcony is an event with storytellers, designed for children of all ages (ideal from 2 years old), which has been held since 2009 in the Historic Center of Belluno.
At Stories on the Balcony you will find a city where adults for an afternoon decide to lower themselves and reach out to children.
They do this ideally by opening the windows of the most beautiful buildings in Belluno to tell stories. But what kind of stories?
We will not listen to stories that help little ones grow up faster. We believe that children should be given a slower pace to grow, to be shared together with the adults who accompany them. From the city’s balconies, children will listen to stories to become braver and face both wonders and perils of life with strength.
Our storytellers have always spoken to children in their language, the one that connects the mind to the heart, to tell the truth. A truth that can be harsh at times, but does not frighten, because the storyteller is there specifically to hand over golden keys to children, with the answers they seek every day on their journey.
At 4:30 PM from Piazza dei Martiri, after registering at 4:00 PM, the caravan of children and parents, guided by performers in medieval costumes, by the flag wavers of Feltre, and by the drummers, will depart for the fairy tale path.
- Piazza dei Martiri
- Piazza Santo Stefano
- Piazza Vittorio Emanuele
- Piazza Duomo
- Via S. Lucano – Assindustria
In Piazza Santo Stefano, the first storyteller leaning out from a balcony will tell the first story to children and adults sitting at the foot of the building.
After the first story, the family caravan will move along the streets of the historic center to reach four more buildings with balconies, from which the other stories will be told.
