see how!!
What has in common a fishnet, a boat in a bottle, a coin, a peace of amber, a rope and a tea bag? Apparently nothing, but they are all kept in a misterious chest that arrived in Genoa on 18th December at the Maritime Museum. The chest represtens a memories bag of each sailor, and it is his treuasure box and also a fellow.
The pupils of the primary school had a journey across the sea helped by an exceptional sailorman that took them far away, also wearing pirate stuff. Then the mariner "fishing" from the chest varoius oblejects from the Northern Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Black sea, told a story for every object picked up.
