Person
Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) is the pseudonym of Carlo Lorenzini, an Italian children's writer. His most famous work, 'The Adventures of Pinocchio', first appeared in 1880, published weekly in a newspaper for children. The novel's eponymous character has transcended the page and taken on a life of his own, appearing in films, television, plays, and spinoff works.
