Introduction The Adventures of Pinocchio (Le Avventure di
Pinocchio) is a novel for children by Italian author Carlo Collodi
The first half was published in serial form between 1881 and 1883, and then completed as a book for children in February 1883
It is considered a classic of children's literature and has spawned many derivative works of art, such as Disney's classic 1940 animated movie of the same name, and commonplace ideas, such as a liar's long nose

Conclusion Pinocchio, in addition to a children's tale, is a
novel of education, with values expressed through allegory
One is that they mirror the values of the middle class of the 19th century, in particular Italy as it became a nation state
Steven Spielberg's film, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001), based on a Stanley Kubrick project that was cut short by Kubrick's death, recasts the Pinocchio theme, in which an android with emotions longs to become a real boy
