 The Persistent Puppet: Pinocchio's Heirs in Contemporary Fiction and Film
Collodi came of age as a writer in the "decennio di preparazione," the decade from 1850 to 1860, when Italy was moving toward unification.
Collodi lived in a complex period of Italian history when there was a great push toward national unity but much ambivalence about what such unity would mean to a country deeply tied to local traditions, dialects and customs.
These clashes within Collodi find expression in his tale of Pinocchio, which it is possible to read as a tale of both transgression and the necessity for conformity.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - The Adventures of Pinocchio: The Story of a Puppet by Carlo Collodi, reviewed by The ...
The Adventures of Pinocchio, which Carlo Collodi first published, in serialized form, in 1881, has spawned hundreds of translations — many of them in appropriately wooden prose — and countless versions for the theater and the screen.
Steerforth has now published an excellent new translation of Collodi's text by Nancy Canepa, and readers who know only the Disney version will find that although the moral of the story is the same, the atmosphere is darker and more dangerous.
Only a storm of protest from Collodi's readers, most of them still in short pants, prompted the author to write the second, more uplifting half of his tale.

Rose’s detailed translation reveals how Carlo Collodi’s original tale is considerably more complex than any of those earlier abridged or animated versions which focus on the scrapes that Pinocchio gets himself into but largely omit his inner reflections.
Here we have all Pinocchio’s statements of good intent, followed, inevitably by his self-recriminations as he fails (yet again!) to follow the dictates of his conscience or the good advice of his father, the talking cricket and the good fairy, thus landing himself in catastrophe after catastrophe.
However, Rose succeeds in capturing Collodi’s humourous and wryly ironic tone, as well as his sheer love of story-telling, so that the exploration of the puppet’s struggle to be good and to discover what it means to be human, while seriously important, never becomes tediously moralistic.
