The first book "Il labirinto dei Giochi Perduti. Giochi da tavolo dal Mondo Antico al Medioevo” (The labyrinth of lost games, board games from the ancient world to the Middle Ages) was dedicated to the ancient board games and to the worlds that the different rules of the past seems to interpret.
Thanks to the attendance of Paolo Pellegrini, Professor and Researcher in Italian Philology and Linguistics of the Department of Culture and Civilization of the University of Verona, who was interested in the reconstruction of the Gherminella written in "Il Labirinto dei Giochi Perduti", a new reserch was born and was published on the important scientific journal “Studi di Lessicografia Italiana” (Studies of Italian Lexicography).
