Happy Birthday Professor!
Happy Birthday John Ronald Reuel Tolkien!
Many of you know The Lord of the Rings and the Middle Earth only thanks to Peter Jackson's films. But without the creative and imaginative genius of this Professor of English language and literature, none of us would have ever known the wonder of this fantasy world so close to the real one. At this point, dear Hobbit of Contea, I ask you a question: How do you know the Middle Earth?
The January 3rd Let's celebrate together the Birthday of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the writer who created the world we all want to inhabit!
If you want, I'll wait for you from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm to toast together with Professor Tolkien and why not? Read his writings together while enjoying the warm winter sun of Contea Gentile!
Ps: this mini gathering is totally free, just bring your mugs to fill!

DEED OF CONTRACT
CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
In the book and in the film, the most famous halfling in the shire finds himself having to sign a burglar's contract drawn up by the Dwarves with a thousand footnotes and paragraphs. You can find the reproduction of this contract, in English, everywhere, but this one you see was hand-written by one of the loyal "citizens" of our project, in Italian and with references to the Journey that the contea Gentile is undertaking: the Construction and the Birth of a place out of the ordinary!
This document can be filled in with the type of trade or service you can offer for the creation of the contea Gentile!
Handmade paper, custom font, pages cut out and sewn by hand with string and sealed with hot wax.

OFFICIAL COIN
OF LA CONTEA GENTILE
Minted in 2022, it depicts the symbol of the shire on one side, the Acorn. While on the other side the face of the nicest mayor there is, Nicolas Gentile. This coin was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the county project, to support and grow it.
Attention: obviously this currency has no legal value in Italy or other countries (perhaps only in imaginary ones). This is a gadget/souvenir from La contea Gentile. Certainly more emotionally valuable than other currencies in circulation in the world!
OFFICIAL PASSPORT
OF LA CONTEA GENTILE
Always carry the Official Passport of LA CONTEA GENTILE with you! This is the most excellent identification document: every self-respecting resident of La contea Gentile, presumed or current never leaves home without it! This passport was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the shire project, in support and growth of it.
Fill it out with the information, characteristics and details that distinguish you: gender, species, class, hair, eyes, build, particular brands and much more!
