The world premiere of the first Atlantyca Geronimo Stilton exhibition – “GERONIMO STILTON LIVE EXPERIENCE: THE JOURNEY THROUGH TIME – is taking place until 20 March 2022 at The Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan.
The exhibition is aimed at children aged 4 to 12 and their families.

The Geronimo Stilton book series, published in Italy by Edizioni Piemme-Mondadori Libri, has become a global phenomenon with 175 million books translated into 51 languages sold worldwide and three animated series co-produced with Rai Fiction and distributed in over 130 countries.

“Geronimo Stilton has always had special powers: he manages to make even the most superficial topics interesting and stimulating even for his young fans,” says Claudia Mazzucco, Atlantyca Entertainment CEO. “The exhibition in Milan makes this gift of his even more real and creates a new bridge between the world of adults and that of children. By visiting the exhibition, children will discover new educational content and will  travel through different historical eras, but adults will also have more fun than they have had in a long time. Because Geronimo Stilton always makes us feel playful and eager to make discoveries, just as we were when we were our children’s age.”
