Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli recently spoke at a Senate conference celebrating the 200th anniversary of Carlo Collodi’s birth. He highlighted why the famous puppet remains relevant to us all.
- Giuli described Pinocchio not just as a children’s story, but as a universal coming-of-age novel.
- He argued that the puppet’s journey represents the growth and development inherent in every person’s life.
- The minister emphasized that the character reflects our shared human struggle to learn and mature.
By framing the tale as a mirror for our own personal growth, Giuli reminded us that Pinocchio is truly a story for everyone.
