Finding Pinocchio


Someone once wrote that Pinocchio was the most popular Italian in the world. This must be true because you can hardly find a language where Carlo Lorenzini’s [aka Collodi] “Le Avventure di Pinocchio”  have not been adapted.
As a toy lover, I searched for the perfect Pinocchio to bring home as souvenir from Italy.
Here's what I bought - Pinocchio di Bambolandia created by the world-renowned artist Beatrice Perini
