The Adventures of Pinocchio, also simply known as Pinocchio, is a novel for children by Italian author Carlo Collodi, written in Pescia. It is about the mischievous adventures of an animated marionette named Pinocchio and his father, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto.
It was originally published in a serial form as The Story of a Puppet (Italian: La storia di un burattino) in the Giornale per i bambini, one of the earliest Italian weekly magazines for children, starting from 7 July 1881. The story stopped after nearly 4 months and 8 episodes at Chapter 15, but by popular demand from readers, the episodes were resumed on 16 February 1882. In February 1883, the story was published in a single book. Since then, the spread of Pinocchio on the main markets for children's book of the time was continuous and uninterrupted, and it was met with enthusiastic reviews worldwide.
Carlo Collodi
Carlo Lorenzini, better known by the pen name Carlo Collodi was an Italian author, humourist, and journalist, widely known for his fairy tale novel. Collodi is most celebrated for his creation of the character Pinocchio, who became a cultural icon through the serialized novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (1883). Collodi's storytelling blended whimsy with moral lessons, and his use of the Tuscan dialect added a distinctive charm to the narrative. Beyond "Pinocchio," Collodi wrote numerous other works, including novels, short stories, and translations. However, it is his creation of Pinocchio that has secured his place in literary history and made him a beloved figure worldwide.
