Walking in Italy . . . stopped at an interesting shop . . . saw things of wooden wonder.
Pinocchio is a fictional character that first appeared in 1881, in The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, and has since appeared in many adaptations of that story and others. Carved from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, he was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamt of becoming a real boy. The name Pinocchio is Italian for "Pine eyes".
Pinocchio is known for having a long nose that becomes longer when he is under stress, especially while telling a lie. His clothes are made of flowered paper, his shoes are made of wood and his hat is made of bread. Geppetto gave him the name Pinocchio because it is an Italian name of good fortune.
