We received over 180 entries in our Pinocchio Creative Competition!

Each entry was of an impressively high standard, and a beautiful tribute to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) and his best-loved children’s story: Pinocchio, making this Settimana della Lingua (SLIM) Creative Competition unforgettable!

Congratulations to our 2026 Pinocchio Creative Competition winners

Be amazed by their extraordinary artworks celebrating Italian language and culture through Le avventure di Pinocchio!
