"Lumps of gold, ostrich feathers, dead rats, candy snapcrackers, little tiny screws, and things like that." (from Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid Lingred)
Carlotta Ferrozzi
She falls in love with ReMida during a course at the Reggio Children center, and dreams of bringing the values of the project to the Bologna area. She gets to work right away, to ably turn the dream into reality.
