The presentation of “Bingotto! Dalla parte dei bambini” was held on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, an innovative educational project conceived by Sergio Galzigna and promoted by the Salerno Carlo Mendozzi Foundation, for the prevention of childhood obesity live on the web from the literary salon of Casa Sanremo Writers.
The interactive and free web app, downloadable directly from the home page of the website www.fondazionecarlomendozzi.org, aims to preserve the imaginative capacity of children, offering them an environment free of violence and full of positive educational models.
“Bingotto!”, in fact, offers an educational and playful experience designed for the little ones with the possibility of listening to the narrated fairy tales, reading them independently, printing them to browse them on paper or coloring the illustrations either by hand or directly on the screen of a PC, iPad or smartphone, thanks to an adaptive interface; the experience is accessible and engaging for children of different ages.
In addition, the app includes a section dedicated to interactive puzzles, which allow young users to recompose some of the images taken from fairy tales, thus stimulating their logic and visual-spatial coordination. An educational glossary, edited by speech therapist Dr. Francesca Stellato, helps children understand complex or difficult-to-pronounce words, while a section dedicated to parents offers dietary advice for healthy infant nutrition by Prof. Claudia Mandato, Head of Pediatrics at the Hospital/University of Salerno, who will provide constant support to families, with monthly updates.
The project was born from the collaboration of a team of experts from different fields including: Antonio De Chiara, Pasquale and Mario Lanzieri, Roberto Giaquinto and Roberta Salerno.
