In Fornovo San Giovanni, the wait for Christmas is lived on the street: on Sunday 8 November, via Vittorio Emanuele II comes alive for a day among open shop windows, gift ideas, stationery and knick-knacks, together with Christmas-themed aperitifs offered by the town's businesses. The central moment is 'La missione degli elfi', the game for children aged 2 to 10 curated by Il Rifugio di Aslan: Santa's elves have made a mess in Aslan's suitcase and need little helpers to put everything back in order, discovering together the world of dogs and how to take care of them. The activity takes place in two shifts, morning and afternoon, alongside face painting and inflatables. The event is promoted by the Associazione Commercianti with the patronage of the Comune di Fornovo San Giovanni. No reservation is required.
