Pinocchio

I am Pinocchio, the most famous marionette of all time!

I promise I won’t lie to you too much and my nose will stay as big as it is.

Did you know that Carlo Collodi wrote about me in 1883? That was a long time ago. Since then, my stories have been translated into more than 220 languages and dialects. And how many films have been made about me! Guess what! Well, eight, and even one TV series.

The most famous film adaptation comes from Walt Disney in 1940, and remains one of the most beloved animated films of all time.

Even with all this fame, I still remain humble…. and damn, I’ve just grown a little bit of that treacherous nose of mine!

Remember, Pinocchio has become a symbol of childhood innocence and a reminder that we can all make mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from them and become better people. His story remains timeless and has been loved by readers around the world for over a century.

This marionette is for advanced puppeteers. But if you have the desire and the will, even those of you with minimal experience can operate the puppet after a while. You may be surprised how quickly you can learn to perform theatre.

Each puppet is a one-of-a-kind original, carved, hand-painted and hand-sewn, so there will be slight variations from the depiction of the puppet on the website.
