Pinocchio represents a cornerstone of children’s literature worldwide. The narrative value and symbolic complexity of Carlo Collodi’s work have made it extraordinarily adaptable, as evidenced by its numerous rewritings. Almost a century after its first appearance in 1928, Angelo Patri’s Pinocchio in America is being republished, enriched with the original illustrations by Mary Liddell. This edition is part of a series of studies on education and the Italian diaspora.
