The Pinocchio papers: what Italy’s best-loved fable tells us about the Italians and their country today

di John Hooper and Anna Kraczyna 

 

The journalist and broadcaster John Hooper is currently Italy and Vatican correspondent for The Economist. Anna Kraczyna lectures for CAPA in Florence. Together they consider the darker and less Disney-like aspects of the nineteenth-century masterpiece by Carlo Collodi.

 

The lecture will be followed by wine and snacks.
