Una miniera di storie, a mine of stories: this is the title we've chosen for Fiori Group's travelling library. Departing from the 2012 edition of our exhibition space at Ecomondo, it was destined to reach five public schools struck by the earthquake in Emilia region.
5 schools.
5 mobile libraries.
505 science books travelling between the classrooms of Crevalcore, Pieve di Cento and Mirabello.
505 small books compared to the destructive force of the earthquake.
505 big books which hopefully will help to rebuild a more serene future.

Una miniera di storie - a mine of stories is a multidisciplinary project designed by Chialab (Beppe Chia and Alex Weste) for Gruppo Fiori (Tamara and Federica).
The exhibition space and the book have been designed by Chialab.
Locating, contacting and coordinating the schools has been the mission of Giannino Stoppani Cooperativa Culturale. They also took care of chosing the right books, composing the bibliography and coordinating the laboratories with the students.
