Pinocchio is a well loved character here because all mothers use him to teach children not to tell lies unless they want long noses. <br /><br />You always do hate how Italian art/characters/fairy tales are being "translated" by foreigners just like how I cannot stand Chinese being depicted in Hollywood movies! Firtly, not all our eyes are squinty (although mine are), secondly, we are not always evil or wise or kung fu master although yes, we all know kung fu *giggles.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-12498958927086368412009-06-05T00:47:54.709+08:002009-06-05T00:47:54.709+08:00I forgot: the first issue ended with the death of ...I forgot: the first issue ended with the death of Pinocchio, hanged on a tree by two Carabinieri after a trial. At this point the Blue Haired Fairy sends her vallets and takes him home where he is cured by the crow doctors. And he is given a bitter medicine with the promise a meal of boiled cawliflower seasoned with oil and a slice of bread buttered on BOTH sides. This to give you the idea of the poverty in Italian countries around the turn of 19 century.rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760301976359983285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-8149291108395042642009-06-05T00:28:46.089+08:002009-06-05T00:28:46.089+08:00Hi Sans, what an agreable break from ironin.

Collodi was from Toscana and he wrote about his own world. This is the Walt Disney's Pinocchio, who, I'm afraid, has very little to share with the real one.He was a proper rascal for the first part of the book and only changed his behaviour on educational purposes. Pinocchio was written for adults and it was only after its huge success that it was declared a kids book, hence the change of attitude.<br />Thank you for sharing, big hugs Rosannarosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760301976359983285noreply@blogger.com
