About the author
Collodi Nipote was the pen name of Paolo Lorenzini, an Italian writer for children. Italian reference sources identify him as the nephew of Carlo Collodi, the creator of Pinocchio, and note that he adopted the name “Collodi Nipote,” literally meaning “Collodi’s nephew.”
He is especially known for Sussi e Biribissi (published in 1902), a humorous adventure for young readers, and for The Heart of Pinocchio, which continued the story-world associated with his famous uncle. Sources also describe him as an early editor connected with the magazine Topolino, showing how his work reached beyond books into children's publishing more broadly.
Because reliable portrait images were not clearly available from the pages I could confirm, I’ve left the profile image blank rather than guess.
