Festivals in foreign countries: 2017 – Festival interculturel du conte Paroles de conteurs, Ile de Vassivière island, France. 2018 – Festival della fiaba Castro dei Volsci, Italia. 2018 – Festival du conte Fresquiennes & Caux, France. I'm collecting, recording, transcribing and publishing life histories an folk tales. I have translated many folk tales from english, german, italian, spanish, french and czech language.
