Gianni Rodari, sat next to pedagogue Loris Malaguzzi, tells about the "Fantastica" theory to a group of Primary and Kindergarten school teachers from Modena and Reggio Emilia. Gianni Rodari was in Reggio Emilia as a guest of honor during the "Fantastica Meeting" (March 6-10, 1972). From such an experience the book "Grammatica della Fantasia" was born, dedicated indeed to the city of Reggio Emilia. In the book, Gianni Rodari writes about the "firemen ex gym, decorated with iron pillars painted in violet, where the conference was held".
