SUMMARY:Pinocchio in the Twenty-First Century: How an Almost 150 Year Old Italia
	n Puppet Became an Icon of Our Times
DESCRIPTION:\nWritten almost 150 years ago\, The Adventures of Pinocchio
	 presents core themes that are as relevant today as they were at the tim
	e of the tale’s first publication. This talk explores the different leve
	ls of meaning of Collodi’s masterpiece. On the surface the novel is a wr
	y satire on many defining characteristics of the Italians. The talk goes
	 on to analyze The Adventures from a twenty-first century perspective: i
	n our age of fake news\, authoritarianism\, and AI\, the story reflects 
	matters that are increasing in significance and consequence.\n\nAnna Kra
	czyna was born and raised in Florence\, Italy by American artist parents
	 and has been a translator and a simultaneous interpreter for thirty yea
	rs. She lectures on Italian language\, literature\, and culture at Ameri
	can universities and colleges in Florence. Kraczyna’s research on The Ad
	ventures of Pinocchio led to her coauthor an article for The New York Ti
	mes in 2019 and\, in 2021\, to a coauthored annotated translation of The
	 Adventures of Pinocchio for Penguin Classics.\n\nFor more details: http
