PINOCCHIO PARK – 9 KM FROM MONTECATINI TERME
Pinocchio Park, inaugurated in 1956, is not a usual amusement park, but rather the precious collective creation of artists of great personality.
The literary path, punctuated by mosaics, buildings and sculptures surrounded by greenery, was born thanks to the union between art and the environment: the course is tortuous, the thick vegetation makes each stage surprising and unexpected, the plants themselves help to create the atmosphere and the episodes of the tale of the Adventures of Pinocchio.
The Park itself is a place of cultural activities that are always renewed but never forget their roots: art exhibitions and illustrations inspired by reading for children and the story of Pinocchio, puppet creation workshops, puppet shows, marionettes and storytellers enrich according to the season, the visit of the Park.
