The 200th birthday of Carlo Collodi, creator of Pinocchio, is being marked with a traveling exhibition that will light up cultural venues across Italy.
- In early 2025 the project kicked off with a launch event at Collodi’s hometown museum, unveiling original manuscripts and illustrations.
- Throughout 2026 the showcase moved to major libraries and regional museums, offering interactive stations where visitors can explore the beloved story’s history.
- The committee behind the celebrations plans to keep the exhibition running until the end of 2027, ensuring a full three‑year run that reaches schools and community centers.
Fans of the wooden puppet can now trace his legacy wherever they go.
