About
Pinocchio stands 63 feet tall in the Italian village where his creator frequented as a child.
Collodi, wasn’t exactly wanting for Pinocchio tributes even before a 63-foot-tall version of the puppet was erected. The town was used as a pen name for the creator of the famous children’s story, Carlo Collodi (he spent a lot of time there as a child), and the village’s nearby Pinocchio Park tells Collodi’s original story through different sculptures, mosaics, shows, and more. The presence of the towering Pinocchio, however, is by far the most alluring physical reminder of Collodi’s history. At 52 feet tall (63 if you include the plinth), it is the tallest Pinocchio in the world.
