Summary

Carnival just around the corner, we have fun together with the fantastic nursery rhymes of our friend Gianni Rodari

Let's read together:

Ladies and gentlemen, step forward
the more people enter, the more you are!
Run to see the great attraction,
the amazing invention.
I didn't come to this market
to sell smoked smoke.
I didn't come to this fair
to sell gruyere holes.
My name is Pulcinella
and I invented the moz – za – rel – la!

This way, ladies and gentlemen
I am Pulcinella the great inventor!
To console the poor
I invented spaghetti.
To cheer up everyone's life
I created the Margherita pizza!
Oil, flour, tomato
nothing is worth this treasure.
People run to listen to him,
he enjoys himself… and buys nothing.
