The Adventures of Pinocchio

"I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful, one that can dance, fence and turn somersaults." - "The Adventures of Pinocchio" - C. Collodi

was very loosely inspired by the late 19th-century children's novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. The story features the mischievous wooden marionette Pinocchio and his father Geppetto. The work is a classic of children's literature and has taken on several forms in pop culture, namely the Disney adaptation from 1940.
