Turandot, The cold-hearted princess

by Nina Tanzi

An exciting fairy tale takes you by the hand. It takes you to the exotic East, where Princess Turandot is unsympathetically attending the execution of her last, unlucky suitor. But look, another one is coming and he must pass a test. Who will have the courage to follow him?
