Discovering Italia in miniatura, thematic park

The park is a little bit dated, but always nice to see. We recommend you follow the  route starting from Puglia, even children  surely will be eager to bypass the sights and go straight to the games. The tour of the monuments is particularly pleasing, and admirable the quality of scale models. Maybe get you must study geography .. not because there is a risk of getting lost, but the regions are not marked. Italian sea… so loved around the world …. is not so well rapresented: a water less green and stagnant would surely be appreciated.
To visit our miniature peninsula takes at least an afternoon, take it easy and you will be affected by the syndrome of photos of the monument, just as has happened to us. And beyond the Alps of Europe is waiting for the summary, which is dominated by the mighty Eiffel Tower.

If you have time and kids with you, you should spend two afternoons in the park, taking advantage of the ticketis valid for two days.

History

Italy in miniature opened its doors July 4, 1970 with its first 50 miniatures, thanks to  the entrepreneur Ivo Rambaldi, who impressed by a miniature park abroad, went to work with a team composed of engineers and architects to visit and measure, meter in hand, palaces, squares and bridges taking over 6000 photos. For the construction of monuments, after several attempts, the choice fell on the ureol, a particular type of polyurethane, easily shaped and very durable. The first monument was built St. Apollinaris in Classe in honor of Ravenna, the city of Rambaldi.
