Pinocchio

The tale was written by Carlo Collodi, the pen name of Italian author and journalist Carlo Lorenzini. Pinocchio first appeared serialized in the children's magazine Giornale per i Bambini beginning in July 1881. The story introduces a mischievous wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. Due to its popularity, it was compiled and published as a complete book in 1883 under the title "Le avventure di Pinocchio" (The Adventures of Pinocchio). Collodi drew inspiration from Italian folktales and the tradition of moralistic children's stories, weaving timeless lessons through narrative adventure.

Pinocchio is a wooden puppet carved by Geppetto who repeatedly falls into trouble—ignoring advice, lying, and trusting tricksters—until he learns honesty and responsibility, rescues his father from a giant fish, and is finally transformed into a real boy.
