    Pinocchio--the real Pinocchio, the one by Carlo Collodi aka Lorenzini, and not the Disneyesque version--is above all a wonderful story, for both children and adults.

    Pinocchio is a perfect Italian character, able to stress out the bad aspects of the average Italian guy. This original story, much more Gothic than the American version, leaves in the background the fear for hunger, the importance of education and the respect of the elderly, the temptations of life and what happens to those who like to risk. A coming of age novel, as Eco points out in his brilliant as usual preface of this peculiar edition, a novel that speaks in so many ways about the Italy of the late XIX century.

    Personally, I like to define Pinocchio as the Italian "Tom Sawyer".

  • An amazing illustrator

    Rural Italy in Collodi's time.
    If you love Tuscany or central Italy you can't miss these unforgettable landscapes and villages.
