The Village of Pinocchio in Farnese

What it is and where it is

"The Adventures of Pinocchio" is a five-part script directed by Comencini in 1972 that has remained in the hearts of many Italians. But where was it filmed? Collodi, author of the book "The Adventures of Pinocchio," was from Tuscany. Despite this, Comencini chose as the location for his screenplay a tuff village in the Tuscia Viterbese area: Farnese, also known as "Il borgo di Pinocchio."
