WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A FIREFIGHTER!
Do you remember what Grisù the little dragon used to say? When I grow up I want to be a firefighter! A true hero's job that fascinates children all over the world. To learn more about their work, don't miss "Pompieropoli," which will be held at the Historical Museum of Firefighters and the Italian Red Cross in Manfredonia, where adults and children can experiment together, through play, with simulated emergency situations and receive instructions on how to behave to prevent and contain risks. For the activity, appropriate clothing for practical activities (jacket and helmet) will be provided by the Museum for both adults and children. A surprising experience awaits us. For the occasion, we will visit the largest, most interesting, and spectacular museum in the world, a place full of vehicles, uniforms, headwear, relics, photographs, archival documents, equipment, and much more. The museum has a spacious and elegant Firefighter's cafeteria, where you can enjoy a good coffee, chips, and drinks of all kinds.
