"Mattia and the Grandfather" is a small masterpiece written by Roberto Piumini, one of the most appreciated Italian authors of children's literature. In a long and unexpected walk, which perhaps has the dimension of a dream, grandfather and grandson prepare for their separation, to look at the world, and to discover places mysterious to the eyes of a child, dotted with magical encounters and little adventures drawn from memories to discover, in the end, that merely wishing for something is not enough to obtain it, but one must try and, above all, never stop searching.

In this delicate passing of the torch, the grandfather teaches Mattia, through playful interaction, to understand the rules that govern the human soul and how to remain alive in the hearts of those we love. An infinite tenderness forms the foundation of this extraordinary story, written with sweetness and great dreamlike quality. It's a work that teaches us, with the innocent eyes of a child and the wisdom of a grandfather, to experience loss as transformation and to understand the cycle of life. This story serves as a remedy, one of those we adults should have had the fortune to know as children to learn how to accept separation, much like this journey between grandfather and grandson, which resembles an adventure that no longer frightens.
