In the sunny streets of Ragusa, we shouted “to the attack” every other day, playing pirates and twirling broomsticks that we turned into swords (the off days were dedicated to Indians and cowboys).

But it took a few years to discover that this “game” was linked to the books written more than half a century earlier by Emilio Salgari, and even longer to become passionate about his life.

And we hope that the passion can be contagious, because during the Sandogame, a board game dedicated to the Salgarian hero created (almost) specifically, you will roll the dice to be the first to reach the end, but if you land on the squares Lady Marianna, Brooke, Tigrotti…, you will have the opportunity to discover how much you know about Sandokan and to hear many other curiosities about the Pirate of Malaya, his creator, and their incredible world. Danilo Gallo

Thursday at 7 PM Revisiting scripted shows (that’s what they were called in the ’70s) and TV series, re-reading the entire saga of the tigrotti of Mompracem takes a bit more time (but there’s always Danilo’s book). Let the challenge begin.
