\u201c \u2026 and what if playing were a serious matter?<\/em>\u201d declared Carlo Basso back in 1972 when he opened the first Citt\u00e0 del Sole<\/strong> store in Milan \u2013 words that serve as a compass for the new location in Palermo<\/strong>, on Via Sciuti 66<\/p>\n

Crossing the threshold of Citt\u00e0 del Sole does not mean stepping into an ordinary toy department, but into a space carefully designed for a child\u2019s growth<\/strong>: areas for early childhood and school age, shelves dedicated to board games<\/strong>, and a selection of books<\/strong> meant to nurture curiosity and imagination. Here, play is not immediate consumption, but a language, an educational practice, and a small workshop of life. <\/p>\n

Leading this adventure are Manfredi and Martina Teresi<\/strong>\u2014he an artist, she a psychologist\u2014who infuse the place with pedagogical care and an aesthetic marked by surprising concreteness: there is no commercial rhetoric, but rather an emphasis on the quality of time and the questions that games can inspire.<\/p>\n

By joining Addiopizzo\u2019s critical consumption network<\/strong><\/a>, the Teresi siblings\u2019 project also takes shape as a concrete commitment to defending entrepreneurial freedom and promoting legality. In this sense, it looks to future generations and the values to be passed on: making conscious choices<\/strong> represents the first act of care toward the community<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

We should remember never to stop playing, because play is the best way for us to learn how to be together<\/strong> and to imagine the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n
