THE RESULT OF THE COMPETITION



OUR HERO'S DESCRIPTION Pinocchio is the result of Carlo Collodi's imagination; he is a puppet of wood, created by Geppetto, a poor joiner, who thought to make a puppet that would have kept him company. Pinocchio is very nice: he is short and thin, he has got black hair, big and bright blue eyes, a large and smiling mouth; his nose is red and it grows when he tells lies. He's wearing white shorts, a white jacket with red flowers, a white cap and shoes made of wood's peel. Pinocchio, as all the children in the world, loves playing, he is a very curious boy, always searching for new experiences and answers to his questions. He is a light- hearted and courageous until imprudence. He is a child with a great willpower and perseverance; he adapts himself to every situation and acts thanks to his genius and creativity. Even when he looks ingenuos or when he disobeys his father, who he loves too much, Pinocchio always is a sweet and sensitive child who grows up by making mistakes. The affection and the good teaching of the blue Fairy, who symbolizes the good mum, help Pinocchio to become a real boy, judicious, a hard worker, thoughtful and fond of his family. The values that are highlighted in the character of “Pinocchio” are typical of the national italian culture and of the italian citizens. Infact, they reflect the italian everyday living who are hard workers, ingenious, attached to their family, generous, ready to help people in trouble, longing for friendship and company.
