From 2 to 28 November, the Biblioteca Civica of Verona hosts the exhibition "Sulle tracce di Pinocchio", dedicated to the bicentenary of the birth of Carlo Collodi. On display are the first chapters of the adventures of Pinocchio, published between 1881 and 1883 in the Giornale dei bambini, and some valuable editions preserved by the Library. The itinerary continues with illustrations by Mussino, Luzzati, Mattioli, Tessaro, Sanna and Facchini, alongside modern and contemporary editions and other reinterpretations of the story, in the Galleria rossa of the Biblioteca Ragazzi. Throughout the month, the exhibition is accompanied by free events for adults and children and by two educational programmes for primary schools. The exhibition is promoted by the Libraries of the Municipality of Verona, with free admission during the Library's opening hours.
