| Summary |
"Le avventure di Pinocchio: Storia di un burattino" by Carlo Collodi is a classic children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy, as he navigates various adventures and misadventures, often learning important life lessons along the way. The opening of the tale introduces the reader to Master Cherry, a woodworker who discovers a peculiar piece of wood that seems to have a life of its own, crying and laughing like a child. Excited by the possibilities of this enchanted wood, Master Cherry intends to carve it into furniture, but each attempt is interrupted by the wood's bizarre actions, suggesting it is more than just a inanimate object. The narrative quickly introduces Geppetto, a carpenter who receives the magical wood from Cherry, intending to create a puppet that he can teach and care for. This initial setting establishes a whimsical tone and hints at the magical transformations and moral lessons that will permeate Pinocchio's journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
