Contents

It is a medieval village documented since the 12th century. It is known for its link to Carlo Lorenzini, who used the pen name Carlo Collodi and wrote The Adventures of Pinocchio . The writer, who was born in Florence and lived most of his life there, spent part of his childhood in the village and adopted its name for his literary career. [1]

The village has an ancient fortress and the aristocratic Villa Garzoni, which has a major garden. The economy of the village is based on tourism, thanks largely to a park dedicated to Pinocchio.
