Eugenio Cherubini

Eugenio Cherubini was an Italian author associated with children’s literature. Reliable biographical detail appears to be scarce online, but library and catalog sources confirm him as the author of Pinocchio in Affrica, a sequel to Carlo Collodi’s classic that was published in the early 1900s.

His name continues to surface mainly through that book, which has drawn later scholarly attention for the way it reflects the ideas and anxieties of its time. That gives Cherubini a modest but interesting place in the long afterlife of Pinocchio, especially for readers curious about how beloved characters were reimagined by later writers.

Because confirmed personal information is limited in the sources reviewed, a fuller life story is hard to reconstruct with confidence. Even so, his surviving work points to an author engaged with popular storytelling for young readers in Italy.
