The Winx at Nuraghe Barumini

This series was created in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, aiming to tell children around the world about the wonders of Italy.
In eight engaging episodes, the most famous fairies on TV visit various Italian locations to fulfill their mission: to find precious magical gems and reveal the lesser-known beauties of the Belpaese to the world.
