Pinocchio
On the 25th of May, the protagonist of Carlo Collodi's book Le avventure di Pinocchio, Pinocchio's birthday is celebrated. Written in Firenze, the first part was released as a serial and then published as a completed book in 1883, with illustrations by Enrico Mazzanti. The famous tale tells of the adventures of a small puppet and his father, the woodcarver Geppetto, who live in Tuscany. In 1940, Walt Disney released an animated film based on the story of Pinocchio, which won two Academy Awards; for the Best Original Score, and the Best Original Song for When You Wish Upon A Star.
