#Halloween Story Time for Kids and Adults 🎃✨

As you probably know by now, I love blending #storytelling with #technology, creativity with purpose. But today, I want to share something a bit different — a Halloween story that bridges worlds, languages, and generations.

Halloween over #Florence: The Market of #Ghosts is a magical tale set in my beloved Florence, where Severino — a mysterious child found nine years ago on the steps of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte — lives among monks, #jazz #music, and ancient mysteries. But on Halloween night, when the full moon rises over the Arno, spirits from around the world gather for their annual meeting at a spectral market that only he can see.

It's a story about wonder, belonging, and the magic that exists just beyond what we think we know. It's for kids who believe in ghosts, and for adults who remember what it felt like to believe.

🧐 and here's another secret: this is the first of a series about Severino. His story is just beginning, and the mysteries hidden in those ancient crypts are waiting to be discovered.

I write and produce this as part of Storie Sotto le Stelle — a creative collaboration with my mother where we bring magical stories to life in Italian and English. It's a family journey that reminds me creativity, when shared, connects generations.

Whether you're looking for a bedtime story, a moment of escape, or simply want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Florence on Halloween night, I invite you to experience Severino's adventure:

“Old Troll Update: Taking Shape! 🐉✨”

The troll we’ve been working on together is really starting to come to life! My daughter asked me to add a few details, so I took the opportunity to try some non-metallic metal (NMM) on his armbands and jewelry. It's been such a fun and rewarding project to share—each step brings him closer to completion, and I couldn't be prouder of how it's turning out.

Sometimes, the real magic of painting isn’t just in the mini, but in the moments spent creating it together. 💖

What do you think of the NMM so far?
