Summary

The Tuscia Notebooks
A journey through Tuscia on the wings of tales from the past, told to young readers, to preserve the memory and identity of every region.

Viterbo (Vetèrbe in the local Viterbese dialect), the capital of the province of the same name in northern Lazio, also known as Tuscia, is located on the lower slopes of the Cimini Mountains and extends westward into the final stretch of the Maremma plain. Its origins are ancient (it is believed that Viterbo derives from the Latin Vetus Urbs, meaning “Old City”) and it boasts the largest medieval historic centre in Europe, with some perfectly preserved neighbourhoods. This historic centre is encircled by walls and surrounded by modern districts, while to the southwest lie valuable agricultural, archaeological, and thermal areas.
The city and its inhabitants are the protagonists of countless legends that fade into the mists of time.

Paul A. Lynch

Suddenly, Bobby heard a loud knock at his door and he ran over to see who it was. It was his best friend Stuart, the rabbit! Stuart was hopping around, excitedly, with a look of adventure in his eyes. He had a plan - to go on an adventure around Chickenville! Bobby was ecstatic, so they packed up their bags and started their journey. With Peter leading the way, they explored the streets and alleyways of Chickenville. They visited the local park and checked out all the interesting places they’d never seen before.  
Bobby the Rooster and his friend Stuart the Rabbit were hungry and decided to eat some food at their favorite restaurant. The restaurant was called 'The Little Red Hen.' It served the best corn on the cob and vegetables that animals could eat. They also served the best drinks.  
Bobby and Stuart walked along the cobbled streets, their stomachs growling in anticipation of the delicious food that awaited them. They finally arrived at the quaint little restaurant called ‘The Little Red Hen’ and were delighted to see the delicious smells emanating from the kitchen. Bobby and Stuart took a seat at their usual table and perused the menu with eager eyes. After a few minutes, they had decided on their orders and couldn’t wait to tuck into the delicious food.
