The album has 100 pages and 100 works of art, including mosaics, paintings, sculptures and architecture, to be composed and discovered through 280 stickers. And it also contains 14 illustrations telling the story of the characters painted by artist Pietro Canepa. The collection is enhanced by 25 Twin Cards, pairs of twin cards to collect to play memory and delve into art and science while having fun.

Along with the Artonauts, the protagonists of this story are the architects, artists and scientists who have left their mark on human history. The album also aims to introduce the topic ofartificial intelligence applications, with the intention of provoking reflection in young readers.

There is also no shortage of special content: a QR code on the cover links to further insights and articles, games, riddles and quizzes engage readers in learning through play. Plus short videos of scientists, architects and artists who provide a deeper insight into their work, such as astrophysics expert Luca Perri, who shares the mysterious peculiarities of the universe and planets, and Paola Roccabianca, professor of molecular microbiology at Milan State University, who guides readers on a journey through extraordinary microscope images that highlight the complexity of life.

For its originality and quality, the project won the fourth edition of Fondazione Cariplo’s call for Cultural Innovation and the Piccolo Plauto 2022 prize as a project characterized by high pedagogical and educational quality.

“With Artonauti it is as if we bring museums directly into people’s hands, bringing them closer to art in a fun way,” commented Daniela Re, and Marco Tatarella, founder of Artonauti. “Art is a language, and it is necessary to get used to reading and understanding it. Learning to do so from an early age, with a tool designed specifically to facilitate the understanding of this world, is a unique opportunity.”

From February 20, the Artonauts album and cards will be available at newsstands, on the official website and on Amazon.
