BIOGRAPHY

Carlo Lorenzini (November 24, 1826 – October 26, 1890), better known by the pen name Carlo Collodi, wasan Italian children's writer known for the world-renowned fairy tale novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio.  Collodi was born in Florence.
During the Wars of Independence in 1848 and 1860 Collodi served as avolunteer with theTuscan army. His active interest in political matters may be seen in his earliest literary works as well as in the founding of the satirical newspaper Il Lampione. This newspaper wascensored by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1849 but re-emerged in May 1860.Lorenzini became fascinated by the idea of using an amiable, rascally character as a means of expressing his ownconvictions throughallegory. In 1880 he began writing Storia di un burattino ("The story of a marionette"), also called Le avventure di Pinocchio, which was published weekly in Il Giornale dei Bambini (thefirst Italian newspaper for children).
Lorenzini died in Florence in 1890, unaware of the fame and popularity that awaited his work: as in the allegory of the story, Pinocchio eventually went on tolead his own independent life, distinct from that of the author.
Lorenzini is buried at San Miniato al Monte Basilica.
