Carlo Collodi (1826 90) is the pen-name of Carlo Lorenzini who was born in Florence. The son of a cook and a servant, he began his writing career as a journalist before turning to children s stories. Pinocchio was a huge success when it was first published and, with its strong sense of morality tempered by exuberant humour and spirit, is still one today.
