Beyond the seven mountains, in the forest at the end of the world, east of the sun and west of the moon there is a place that no one knows but everyone knows. It is the place where the fairy tale lives and weaves with the threads of the oral tradition the history of the peoples. The Oral tradition includes texts that aesthetically fall under the general term Artistic folk speech and as there is no people that does not have its own fairy tales or its own traditional songs, these two are an important part of the intangible cultural heritage of the peoples of the world.
