For the Ravenna Mosaic Festival 31 works produced by children aged between seven and eleven have been chosen. They represent a charming example of the spontaneity, genuineness and sincerity of children’s art even in its simplest forms of expression. Children’s art is always spoken of with such tenderness because its effect on us is irresistible; it amazes us with the originality of the images and extraordinary viewpoints, their imagination strikes us and reminds us of moments in our own childhood.
