As many stars are in the sky, there are stories to tell…and every story is a gift.

A year after the inspiring FEST-Federation for European Storytelling- meeting, Raccontamiunastoria Storytelling Company is proud to announce the 1st Italian Storytelling Festival, to be held in Rome on 18-19-20 of September.
In the heart of a city full of history, a festival to celebrate and share the magic of stories through tales, legends, myths and music.
A unique event to bring storytelling to the Italian and multicultural audience in Rome, where each storyteller will create a bridge of images between his/her own culture and the audience, making of each story a special gift.

The festival will be organised and promoted by Raccontamiunastoria, the first Italian Company entirely dedicated to storytelling and its diffusion in Italy since 2005.
Main goal of this first edition of the festival is to bring storytelling back to Italian audiences, promoting the revival of this traditional Art through the voices of the best International Storytellers.

Many international and Italian artists have already given their support and agreed to attend: you can read their curricula in this article!

A great choice of events will be available across the three days of the Festival: storytelling performances either for adults and children, Open Floors (where everyone is welcome to tell a story!) and Sightseeing Storytelling.

Raccontamiunastoria International Storytelling Festival will be a big multicultural party open to anyone, professional storytellers, amateurs and audience who wishes to experience the great pleasure of sharing their culture, language and stories.
Events will take place from 11 am to 11 pm, have a look to the official programme to check the timetable!
