The wood, in which Pinocchio is cut, is the humanity.
(Benedetto Croce)
Pinocchio is one of the most read, translated and sold books in the world. As well as for the most famous classical texts, such as the Odyssey, it is a journey in and out himself. Pinocchio visits fantastic places, meets different people, crosses the goodness and badness, discovers, among the people he meets, that the world is rich and interesting because of the nuances, and realizes that good and evil, the indolent and the industrious, lie and sincerity, hatred and love, selfishness and gratitude coexist in all of us.
It is here, therefore, that the trip also, and perhaps above all, becomes an inner journey in which to be important, indeed, is not the destination but the trip itself, in which the puppet meets people and different cultures, visits places and distant countries, uses rich and plural ways to communicate, grows, not to become "better" or "best", but to acquire full awareness of himself and the world that surrounds him.
The experiences of life, the variety of communicative tools, the intercultural exchanges that the street, and the multiform and colored personalities that populate it, can represent, for the young generations, as it was for Pinocchio, one of the most important aspects in their own process of human and social growth.
