What we are going to do
Let's browse through a book together and learn about the insects we might find while hunting in the woods. We'll note down in a notebook where we might find them, and together, with magnifying glasses in hand, we'll map out our discoveries. Do you know what a praying mantis looks like? And a cricket? A grasshopper? Let's find them together as we walk through the woods of Cascina Fiorana. At the end, we can create a leather bracelet for each child with their name as a memento of the experience.
And what if night falls and it's June? Sherlock Holmes in search of fireflies! We will provide a room for dinner (bring a flashlight). During the experience, magnifying glasses, notebooks, and pencils will be provided to all children. The items will be returned to Cascina Fiorana at the end of the hunt. Parents will be the chaperones, we ask you to reserve only for the children.
To reach Cascina Fiorana, it is recommended to park for free on Via Praeli in Asso or at the schools on Viale delle Rimembranze. You will walk through the village streets to Via Ponte Oscuro (10 minutes). After the small bridge over the Orrido, take the road marked by an open gate with the sign Via Roncaglia. You now have a 1.2 km uphill walk ahead of you, which will bring you calmly to Cascina Fiorana in about 30 minutes.
