INVISIBLE CITIES
Parallel invisible dimension, made of 55 cities that bear women’s name and represents specific aspects of human life or society. Places without streets but full of memories. Cities that grow skyward, Or exist only within dreams.
Zaira, where every stone holds the weight of the past. Ersilia, where threads connect homes, weaving human bonds. Sophronia, half a city of rides, half a city of homes, Shifting and reshaping, forever reborn.
These are the Invisible Cities of Italo Calvino, Cities of ideas born from imagination’s breath.
FLOATING ISLANDS OF MUNCHHAUSEN
Welcome to floating islands that drift through sky and sea, shifting shapes that defy all reason and gravity.
These mysterious lands rise and fall with the wind, Ever-changing, unpredictable, like dreams set adrift. Step into the floating isles of Baron Münchhausen.
Where fantasy takes flight and the impossible becomes real.
THE ENCHANTED ISLAND OF ALCINA
A mystical island where magic rules, where the air shimmers with enchantment and danger.
Here, Alcina’s spell binds the hearts of lovers. Transforming them into stone, beasts, or blooming trees.
A place of beauty and peril, where the land itself holds secrets of love and sorcery.
ATLANTIS: THE LOST ISLAND

But hubris led to its tragic fall, sinking beneath the waves in silence and myth.
Atlantis remains a timeless legend: A powerful realm swallowed by the sea, whispering warnings of pride and fate.
