The Municipal Library of Canossa offers an afternoon for children aged 3 to 10 dedicated to the feast of San Martino and the tradition of lanterns. After reading the legend of the saint, the young participants can make a decorated lantern with their own hands. In Canossa, this occasion is deeply felt: for over ten years, on November 11th, the town lights up with hundreds of handmade lanterns (803 in the 2025 edition), a symbol of the light that San Martino brought into the darkness. The workshop in the library also allows the little ones to take part in this custom, building their own lantern to light together.
