Summer 2026 brings to Collodi a rich calendar of events including art, entertainment, tradition and culture. The Pinocchio Park and the Historic Garzoni Garden celebrate two important anniversaries this year: the 70 years of the Pinocchio Park and the bicentenary of the birth of Carlo Lorenzini, whose celebrations will continue until 2027.
Among the most anticipated new features is the multimedia exhibition ''Pinocchio 3D'', curated by Medartec, scheduled at Parco di Pinocchio from 18 July to 18 October. An immersive and interactive experience that accompanies the public to discover the genesis of the work, its suggestions and its meanings.
Through educational panels, videos, costumes, sketches and a hologram by Carlo Lorenzini, visitors will be able to take on the role of Pinocchio and retrace his adventures and training path, in an experience designed to involve adults and children.
THE PINOCCHIO CARD
On the weekend of 18 and 19 July the Park will also host the Master Papermakers of the Magnani Company of the Pescia Paper Museum, who will offer a demonstration of the hand-making of watermarked paper with the image of Pinocchio.
The activity will take place from 4pm to 6pm and will be repeated on 25 and 26 July, 7 and 8 August and 29 and 30 August.
“WIRELESS” - PINOCCHIO STREET FESTIVAL
From 21 to 23 August, “Senza Fili” - Pinocchio Street Festival returns to Collodi for the 11th edition, organized by the Associazione Senza Fili APS in collaboration with the Fondazione Nazionale Carlo Collodi.
