At GO, another tribute to the bicentenary of Carlo Collodi’s birth. On stage, the presentation of the catalogue for the exhibition L’eco di Pinocchio, published by Giunti Editore with the participation of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze.

The 192-page, full-colour volume retraces the story of Pinocchio chapter by chapter through the eyes of around 60 students from Professor Alessandro Baldanzi’s course, bringing together an extraordinary gallery of images capable of conveying all the contemporary relevance, poetry and imaginative power of the famous puppet.

In this collection, Pinocchio is no longer merely a character, but becomes a narrative device: a shifting figure through which to question the present.

“The puppet moves through different languages, aesthetics and sensibilities, transforming each time into symbol, story and vision. From the most traditional mark-making to the boldest experiments, each work builds an intimate dialogue between the original text and the artist’s imagination, giving shape to a web of interpretations that makes visible the inexhaustible vitality of Collodi’s work.”

From the day of the presentation, you will be able to visit the exhibition free of charge on the first floor, in the Sala degli Specchi.
