Lanterna Magica

from: Fisheye Venice

Archived page

As of 2009, Laterna Magica is no longer at the location described, and it appears to be out of business.

Lanterna Magica recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as a shop devoted to toys, models, crafts, and games. The shop is on the Calle delle Bande in Castello, between I Tre Mercanti and Ratti.

The store's co-owners, Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello (shown above), moonlight as designers of internationally popular board games such as War of the Rings, Age of Conan, and Marvel Heroes.
