Little Geppetto is a restless child with a great desire to explore the world and experience everything he can. As he grows up, he takes on many different trades and learns something from each one, even though nothing seems to fully satisfy him. A great surprise awaits him once he crosses the threshold of old age, because despite his years, Geppetto has never lost his desire to invent, create, and love, and he pours it all into the masterpiece that will change his life: Pinocchio!

A book that explores, from a totally different perspective, a little-known character from a great classic of Italian literature, Pinocchio. What if Geppetto’s story, before Pinocchio’s arrival, were full of twists and turns? Geppetto is not just a carpenter, but a man driven by a strong desire for fatherhood who decides to build a wooden son with his own hands. Who will be able to help him?
