About the Item

Vintage oversized or lifesize fully articulated Pinocchio store display or prop, Italian made wooden sculpture, that later became the famous and popular Disney character. Hand painted in original red, green, black, white and yellow enamel paints. Unique display piece for the home, children's nursery or bedroom. From an estate of a family who owned a whimsical store in the 1970s and 80's. There are two available, second once has some touch up paint on the shoulder socket. Made entirely of wood, most likely Italian pine (hence Pinocchio - Pino wood + occhio eyes). From Wiki: Pinocchio (/pɪˈnoʊkioʊ/ ⓘ pin-OH-kee-oh,[1] Italian: [piˈnɔkkjo]) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the children's novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi of Florence, Tuscany.[2][3] Pinocchio was carved by a poor man named Geppetto in a Tuscan village. He is created as a wooden puppet, but he dreams of becoming a real boy. He is known for his long nose, which grows when he lies. Pinocchio is a cultural icon and one of the most reimagined characters in children's literature. His story has been adapted into many other media, notably the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio. Collodi often used the Italian Tuscan dialect in his book. The name Pinocchio is possibly derived from the rare Tuscan form pinocchio ('pine nut') or constructed from pino ('pine tree, pine wood') and occhio ('eye').
