Once upon a time… A story!

Oral Memories of a Time Gone By: A Journey Through Childhood Stories Passed Down from Generation to Generation

A journey through stories, nursery rhymes, popular sayings, songs, and memories.

Memories that were at risk of being lost forever have been collected and transcribed by the students of the "A. Frank" primary school in Pollenza. This work is the result of a collaboration between the "V. Monti" Comprehensive School and the Department of Education, Cultural Heritage, and Tourism at the University of Macerata.

This volume collects childhood memories—from the Marche, other regions of Italy, and other countries—that the boys and girls of yesterday wanted to share with the boys and girls of today.
