On Saturday, April 12th, the Association Le Storie di City Grand Tour will present the first of six guided and theatralised tours known as The six senses in Pisa: Touch, observe, hear, feel, smell and imagine. Six routes will lead both residents and travellers through a journey making them experience each corner of the town of Pisa by means of their six senses. A storytelling interwoven with pictures and words will give rise to a fruitful debate between generations on different topics relating to the town within whose frame the experience of enjoying traditional, local tastes and scents will provide everyone with the occasion of adopting formerly unknown perspectives capable of…disclosing the magic of the town and all senses ...
