Hallowe'en special for Ghost Hunters: the FantasMAPPA, a "Guide to the Mysteries of Rome". This fold-up map for children of all ages pinpoints the haunted corners of the Eternal City, with the accompanying ghost stories told by writer and journalist Alberto Toso Fei and with illustrations by Manfredi Ciminale.
The map, published by Tic Edizioni, reveals the dark secrets of Rome, pinpointing the hangouts of the capital's phantoms, like the Roman empress Messalina (to be seen on the Pincio), the tragic Beatrice Cenci (carrying her head across the Sant'Angelo bridge) and Donna Olimpia, the power behind the papal throne of Innocent X, who plunges with her coach drawn by demons into the Tiber.
The map contains some fifty stories and legends that offer a novel and entertaining way of exploring the city's sites and monuments - a guaranteed hit with visiting families anxious to inject some sightseeing interest into bored and uncooperative kids!
