Italian School of Magic

Italian School of Magic

The experience in a nutshell

A unique event in Italy where imagination comes to life: for three days, an authentic 15th-century castle is transformed into a real Academy of Magic for young apprentices.

 

The Immersive Experience
After receiving their letter of admission, each child puts on their uniform, is assigned to a house and becomes the true protagonist of an epic adventure:

  • Lessons and Workshops: Practical courses in spells, potions and the discovery of fantastical creatures amongst the castle’s ancient halls and gardens.
  • Mysteries and Tests of Courage: A gripping storyline led by professional actors, featuring challenges, puzzles to solve and teamwork.
  • Personal Development and Socialisation: An experience combining theatre, play and historical heritage, ideal for stimulating creativity and forging new friendships.

 

Useful Information
The event is organised by Caraval Spettacoli and is open to children aged 6 to 13. Places are limited and sessions regularly sell out.

 

Who is it for: Ideal for children and young people who love fantasy, magic and adventure, and for families looking for an educational and extraordinarily engaging activity.
