Thanks Nancy, I went back to the Pinocchio store today to buy some Christmas gifts for my grandchildren and of course I could not resting buying something for myself.
Vraiment bon Tino, je n’avais jamais pensé que cette petite marionnette en bois avait une si grande signification. J’ai bien aimé les messages que pouvaient véhiculer les personnages. En particulier celui de Geppetto qui dit : fait attention à ceux qui désirent établir une relation avec toi uniquement pour tirer avantages de toi.
Oh how I wish I had known about the Pinocchio Museum in Colle when we were there picking up our key. I love the story of Pinocchio, and when we were in Civitavecchia some years ago I bought one for our first born UK granddaughter and of course one for me. That muffin sounded delicious, it is not something I usually partake of, but one can imagine. I love your photos and your post has brought back happy memories of our times in Italy. Ciao goditi il tuo caffe
Wow Tino. Your stories continue tu be inspiring. I used to love that story as a kid and your story inspires me to look up this book once again. I also recall a Wall Disney rendition of that story which I would love to see again. I don’t remember you telling me about your adopted town being the birthplace of Pinocchio but you manages to instigate my curiosity.
I may therefore have to do another trip to see you. Love it!
Love to read you every week ! You dreamt it for so long, it is now a weekly reality for you and you do it perfectly ! Bravo Tino et continue de réaliser ton rêve 😌
An ambitious story, Tino, about a surprisingly complex subject. As you allude, Pinocchio may appear to be a ‘lite’ fairy tale but it is a deep, psychological study of birth, morality and redemption. You’ve done a great job of piquing the reader’s interest and describing how ubiquitous the character is to Italian folklore and culture. Bravo!
What a beautiful story! Well written and entertaining! Thank you for bringing Pinocchio to life.

Effettivamente ce passage est Mon préféré aussi. Ciao
A treat to read. Grazie!
Tino, je cours à la librairie pour acheter ce livre pour mes petits-fils! Je n’avais pas réalisé que cette histoire était profondément italienne.
Allo Francine. Devine ce que j’ai fais aujourd’hui? Magasiner pour des cadeaux pour mes petits enfants à la boutique de Pinocchio à Rome.
Ahah! Je ne serai pas toute seule.👍
Bravo Agostino, I love your stories and fresh point of view of Italy!

And thank you for the shoutout. 🙈
Thank you Loretta, and grazie mille for your valuable input. Indeed a great story this little burattino. We should start a Pinocchio fan club. 🤥
