About me

I am a craftsman from Florence, continuing the city's centuries-old tradition of Carta Marmorizzata. Pinocchio was born in Florence, and in my studio you can experience making a handmade wooden Pinocchio. My studio, Piro Firenze, is a place where art, color and imagination intertwine. Here, one of my favorite creations is the Pinocchio puppet. — It is completely hand-carved and wears a Florentine paper-patterned “cloth” that I made, perfectly combining tradition and fairy tales.
