   ARMILLA WITHIN CALVINO'S INVISIBLE CITIES (1972)

Our Armilla consists of a small island suspended above the sea, featuring houses that float in the sky and can be reached by climbing vines. Upon entering the world, players are "born" inside a Greek arch. Using vines, they can reach the boats stored in chests located directly beneath the arch and placed on a luminous platform, from which they can ascend to the island, again via climbing plants.

The island is surrounded by clouds from which cherry blossom trees emerge, along with pools inhabited by nymphs. Nearby, there is a statue of a nymph whose hands give rise to two water fountains that form a wave.

On the opposite side of the statue, still within the sea, stands a Greek temple containing two golden statues of nymphs and an incomplete portal. This portal must be completed by following and solving the riddles posed by the nymphs, whose solutions are hidden somewhere on the island.

Once inside the portal, players must complete a parkour section and retrieve the appropriate swords from chests in order to fight a large number of spiders in the next level, marked by a checkpoint located immediately after a second portal. After completing the mission involving the spiders, players must find a chest containing a lever, which is necessary to open a door granting access to the second level. This level involves locating the nine missing pieces of a staircase while fighting zombies, skeletons, and other monsters.

Once the staircase is completed and the end is reached, the final mission requires finding the correct path back to the island of Armilla. At this point, all the proposed missions are completed, and the world can be used in a classic, free-play manner. We hope you enjoy it!

MINECRAFT SPEECH

When we started this project we tought aboutlicterature: the thrilogy of our ancestors (from 1952 to 1959), and "The invisible cities" (1972), wich is the one we chose to do our project on: in the book, Calvino describes 55 fantasy cities, divided in 11 tematicino.

He was born on the 15th of october 1923 (his birthday's coming soon!!) in Cuba. But when he was really young he came to Italy with his italian parents, more specifically he stabled in Sanremo (the city where the famous music festival was created).

During the Second World War he stopped going to university and became part of the Partigian movement; this experience became a really significative point for his literal production. After the war he started to collaborate with the editing house Einaudi in Tourin and he knew there some really famous people like Elio Vittorini, Cesare Pavese and Natalia Ginzburg. In the 1947 he published his first romance called "Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno", in english "The path of spider nests": where he described and narrate the Resistance with a childish and original look.

In the 50/60th Calvino became a really important point for the italian literature. He spaced by magic realism (a fusion of realism and fantasy) to litteral math.

We remember him by his most famous works of literature: the thrilogy of our ancestors (from 1952 to 1959), and "The invisible cities" (1972), wich is the one we chose to do our project on: in the book, Calvino describes 55 fantasy cities, divided in 11 tematic groups.

Now we can introduce to you our first city: Armilla.

Armilla's made by a little island floating on the sea and some tubes floating in the sky above the little part made by the ground.

The first thing you'll see when you arrive there is a little preview of the whole city, to arrive there you have to get a boat from the chests.

You'll visit the floating houses of the nymphs and nereids that live there. You'll probably see them taking a bath in the floating colorful bathtubs where the water gets there from the colorful tubes that you can see on your head.

At the end, if you'll play in this city, you'll fight with mobs in the Nether and you'll end all the missions we prepared for you.

In Armilla you can twist fantasy and reality and you'll feel the magic that Italo Calvino felt when he wrote about it.

Hope you'll enjoy it!!
