    "Toys of yesterday and today"

    At Christmas, I play!

    Toys by the thousands, as Tino Rossi sang so well! 
    Stuffed animals, dolls, cars, dinettes, games, enough to turn the head of our dear young heads.

    Old wooden or metal toys that our parents and grandparents used to play with. 
    Put away your cell phones for an enchanted interlude and let yourself be carried away by the magic of this fairy world that those under twenty years old cannot know.

    Come and admire the meticulous and original work of the creators. These artists are not lacking in imagination to personalize their objects: patterns, colors and materials are the precious and necessary ingredients for the creation of traditional Christmas toys.
