Abstract

The article focuses on "Le avventure di Pinocchio: Storia di un burattino" (The Adventures of Pinocchio: Story of a Puppet), published in 1883, which explores themes of human freedom through the adventures of a wooden puppet. The narrative, originally serialized in the Giornale per i Bambini, was crafted by Carlo Collodi and aimed at both children and adults, featuring contributions from notable figures in Italian literature and journalism. Pinocchio's journey reflects a desire for independence and self-identity, intertwining various literary genres and cultural references, while also critiquing social and cultural issues of the time. The article emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary research to fully appreciate the character's significance and the cultural context of Collodi's work. [Extracted from the article]
