PLAY. It is an activity which proceeds within certain limits of time and space, in a visible order, according to rules freely accepted, and outside the sphere of necessity or material utility. The play-mood is one of rapture and enthusiasm, and is sacred or festive in accordance with the occasion. A feeling of exaltation and tension accompanies the action.
—Johan Huizinga, Homo Ludens
Nell’ultimo decennio sono aumentati gli studi che provano quanto la giocosità nutra e influenzi positivamente la nostra vita. Giocare può essere definito a tutti gli effetti, oltre che un istinto biologico innato, una variabile della Felicità.
Ho dedicato molto tempo alla ricerca e raccolta di ricerche e studi, provenienti da fonti attendibili, che possano aiutare la cultura del gioco a diffondersi a ogni livello della società.
