The village of Collodi: on the right the Garzoni Villa

When I go to that small and isolated village in the Valdinievole region, that charming Collodi, where time seems to have stopped, I feel like a child again and magic envelop me. I can’t miss two attractions if I’m there: the Pinocchio Park and the Historic Garzoni Garden.

In the Pinocchio Park I can find art for my eyes and emotions for my heart: I feel like a child again remembering the history of the most famous puppet of the world and I’m always moved as I read about his desire of being a real child. Every chapter of his history is represented by a great sculpture of an important Italian artist, that blends with nature around it: I could almost speak of site-specific art!

And then, how can I miss a walk through one of the most beautiful garden of the entire area? The Historic Garzoni Garden is really charming especially during the flowering period, offering so colorful glimpses that I always regret if I don’t have a camera with me!
I always save the visit to the Butterfly House, inside the Garden, as the last thing to do before leaving: the first time I was there I was really surprised and I thought to be in Paradise. What is it? It is a particular building we can get in and have a very close contact with butterflies that are free to fly. No filter divide human and nature; if you are lucky, butterflies can alight on you!

Collodi? If I have to define it, I would simply say it is “an experience to live at least one in your life”!
