Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino un romanzo scritto da Carlo Collodi (pseudonimo dello scrittore Carlo Lorenzini) a Firenze nel 1881 e pubblicato nel 1883 dalla Libreria Editrice Felice Paggi con le illustrazioni di Enrico Mazzanti. Il romanzo ha come protagonista Pinocchio, che l'autore chiama impropriamente burattino, pur essendo morfologicamente pi simile a una marionetta al centro di celeberrime avventure. Nelle intenzioni di Carlo Collodi pare non vi fosse quella di creare un racconto per l'infanzia: nella prima versione, infatti, il burattino moriva impiccato a causa dei suoi innumerevoli errori. Solo nelle versioni successive, pubblicate a puntate su un quotidiano, la storia venne prolungata anche dopo la sequenza dell'impiccagione, giungendo al classico finale che oggi si conosce, con il burattino che assume le fattezze di un ragazzo in carne ed ossa (Aonia edizioni).

Quando lo conobbi io, aveva appena dieci anni. Di nome si chiamava Gigino.Non era n bello n brutto. Aveva un par d'occhietti cerulei: i capelli biondissimi, d'un biondo chiaro come la stoppa: il naso un po' ritto e voltato in su e le gambe un tantino magre pi del bisogno.Nell'insieme, poteva dirsi un buon figliuolo. A scuola non faceva miracoli, ma il maestro mostravasi contento: in casa poi era il cucco della mamma e l'occhio diritto del babbo. Guai se le sorelle e i fratelli maggiori avessero torto un capello a Gigino C'era da far nascere una specie di finimondo.
