Discover Italy — with Anya and Milo! Build a spinning pizzeria automaton, inspired by famed artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. Harness the calco process used by Renaissance artists to make eye-catching art. Challenge a friend to a game of rota, an ancient Roman game that's a little like tic-tac-toe. Visit vibrant Venice and explore its canals, carnivals, and colorful history. And if you're hungry after all that virtual sightseeing, whip up some healthy, homemade bruschetta. Ready to Rome about?

Behind the design

The pizza-spinning automaton is our favorite part of this crate. We wanted a kid-friendly idea to show how complex parts like cams work. We just wish it could really make pizza!

    This set was so fun! My daughter loved making the water color pictures herself! She also enjoyed the science involved in making the pizza oven. Very "do able"
