From the 1930s til today: how has our life changed?
One day Luca and Marta ask their grandparents to have a look at their family’s picture book. Running through both the private (the first bath, the first sea holidays) and the public (city and the traffic, the school, the supermarket), the young reader will learn to check the differences through the passing of time.
The photographs will run away with the decades, and he will find out in the end that, amongst all the changes that have been made by the passing of time, a child is still a child.
