Gepetto

Gepetto is a fictional character from Carlo Collodi's 1883 tale 'The Adventures of Pinocchio.' He is portrayed as a kind-hearted yet strict woodcarver who creates Pinocchio, a wooden puppet that magically comes to life. In contrast to the more whimsical Disney adaptation, Collodi's Gepetto embodies a more complex character, navigating the challenges of parenting a mischievous puppet who longs to become a real boy. His deep affection for Pinocchio drives the narrative, highlighting themes of redemption and the struggles of fatherhood.
