Do the old readers of "Insieme" remember the report of the Casetta's official opening?

Well, this year the Little House turns five! It now has sister houses that, like all sisters, don't look alike but share the same family spirit — in Parma, in Milan.

It was written about in "Ombres et Lumières" in a script not entirely Italian: "La casetta".

So somewhere in far-off Canada, or in the remote reaches of Australia, there is someone who "does the casetta." That is, they spend entire days together in the style of camp life: playing, singing, putting on shows, preparing lunch, eating, washing dishes, playing again, and praying.

Speaking of camps, the Casetta on Via Plinio, 30 asks you to have fun, play, eat, and rest during the camps this summer — but please return all its essential tools so we can open the doors again in October!

Happy camping to all!
