A wooden copy of Pinocchio in a souvenir shop in San Gimignano, Italy
Pinocchio, the name a variant of common pinolo ("pine seed"), or "pine's eye" ("occhio", the Italian word for eye), is a fictional character and the protagonist of the children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi. Carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a village near Florence, he was created as a wooden puppet but dreamed of becoming a real boy. He lies often. Pinocchio is a cultural icon. As one of the most reimagined characters in children's literature, his story has been adapted into other media.
