The Adventures of Pinocchio is a modern novel precisely because it is multimedia. This fact is already demonstrated by its first volume edition in 1883, where the illustrations by Enrico Mazzanti, Collodi's regular collaborator since the publication of I racconti delle fate (1876), interpret and enrich the text. For over 140 years, Collodi’s masterpiece has fascinated dozens and dozens of illustrators all over the world, many of whom have offered an original and creative reading.
The symposium The Multimedia Puppet: Illustrations in The Adventures of Pinocchio intends to relaunch the reflection on the close link between the writing and the illustrations, through the discussion.
The guest of honour will be Roberto Innocenti (Bagno a Ripoli, 1940), one of the greatest contemporary illustrators, recipient of numerous awards throughout his career, including the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen (2008).
The Conference will be held online.
