| Without the arrogance to provide an expert view of the book, but

| and Charles Dickens to describe the dark side of Italian society

| understand the part of the Italian story

| Pretty cool, I didn't know it was a series in Italy. From what

| version. (Any more than the expected, condensed, Disney way).
|
| Jordan Peterson actually really opened up the Disney story of
| Pinocchio for me, all of it is really quite apt. I could imagine
| the original is quite amazing.

| Yeah, there is something going on there with the

| My condolences. I'm pretty sure it may now take YouTube a
| full year to learn that you're not gonna watch that. Might
| be easier to remove the lectures from the 'watch history'
| and then methodically mark these recommendations as not
| interesting to you. Of course, idk if that doesn't also
| catch some properly good content by association.

| Not wanting to sound dismissal, but as Italian the real story of
| Pinocchio is the original story of Collodi's Pinocchio, that we
| are told and we read since we are little kids.
|
| We have old sayings like "the land of toys (il paese dei
| balocchi) does not exists' or "if you do not study you'll end up
| like Pinocchio and Lucifer transformed into a donkey" that are
| directly taken from the book.
|
| Also, a very popular adaptation of Pinocchio made for television
| [1], directed by one of the greatest Italian directors of the
| renown Italian comedy genre of the time and which is probably the
| most popular adaptation here in Italy, surely the most accurate,
| is very blatant about the need for education.
|
| p.s. the tv show musical theme was popularized in the 90s by a
| dance remix [2] that was then remixed in all sort of styles,
| including techno and gaber
|
| When my father was very young he was friend with Nino Manfredi,
| who plays Geppetto. they were born in two houses two kms apart
| from each other.

| Aleksey Tolstoy not only localized the story quite freely,
| but sneaked in jabs at other contemporary authors and poets.

| Now I feel a bit nostalgic for life in Italy after reading that.
| So many beautiful places, and a lot of very interesting people.
