Every time somebody is talking about the village of Collodi<\/a>\u00a0(fraction of Pescia),<\/strong> our imagination flies to the Pinocchio<\/em>\u2019s fairytale,<\/strong> one of the most famous and loved of all time. There is a deep reason to visit this beautiful village, hoping to grasp the spirit of this parable for adults and children: Collodi profoundly inspired the author Carlo Lorenzini<\/strong>, feeding his imagination so hard to push him to create a pseudonym having in its last name the name of Collodi, his mother native village.
\nFor Lorenzini, Collodi was the place of his childhood and magic<\/strong>. The whole village seems to climb along a dense, lush bush that embraces it and makes it mysterious.<\/p>\n

Here, Pinocchio<\/em>\u2019s fairytale is reflected in everything. But it is in Pinocchio’s Monumental Park<\/strong><\/a> that the vicissitudes of the puppet are told in the best of ways.<\/p>\n

Why you need to go there? Because it is an open-air museum born in the 1950s,<\/strong> and remained practically the same since then.<\/strong> It is a hideous and mysterious place that has not felt the necessity of resorting to new technologies and special effects. Take a walk through the many bronze statues<\/strong> commissioned to various artists, from its opening to today.<\/p>\n

\"Collodi<\/p>\n

Each place recalls a celebrated episode<\/strong> of the fairy tale, such as that of the squid (then a Disney cartoon whale) that swallows a desperate Geppetto. Overlooking a large bathtub, the large brick animal emits at regular intervals the large splashes of water: let yourself be carried away by enthusiasm, and overcome the long rows of sharp teeth: you will find yourself immediately in the fish belly<\/strong>. Go up the steep, steep stairs leading to the animal’s head and enjoy the beautiful panorama overlooking the entire garden.<\/p>\n

Do you like labyrinths?<\/strong> There is one, small but very pretty, fully covered with ivy, where children and adults can play chasing, lazing pleasantly for a few minutes in his paths.<\/p>\n

There is an area dedicated only to children<\/strong>, always with a pleasantly retro flavor: horseback rides, workshops by the park staff, small puppet theater, cable car, rope castle, giant chessboard and other games scattered in the garden.<\/p>\n

Inside the park there is also a bar and a small picnic area.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
