The Medieval Game of the Goose – A Symbolic and Initiatory Journey

I Go, I Circle, and I Return

Medieval Viterbo told through a game of symbols and colors.

Inspired by the paths and symbols of medieval Viterbo, The Game of the Goose by Cinzia Chiulli is a journey through art, history, and spirituality. Each square depicts places, figures, and legends of the City of the Popes, transforming an ancient popular game into a path of discovery and memory.

Made in ceramic and hand-painted, it combines the charm of artistic craftsmanship with the pleasure of play, bringing back to light the magic of courtyards, towers, and stone streets that still tell the story of medieval Viterbo.
