Collodi worked as a journalist, magazine editor, and translator of children’s stories before he became an author of children’s stories. The Adventures of Pinocchio was first serialized in an Italian children’s magazine (1881-1883). The novel became a best-seller and is considered one of the most famous children’s stories ever written. The first illustration of Pinocchio was drawn by Enrico Mazzanti in 1883.
