    This website is for Collodi Park. I would like to visit Le Giostre D'Epoca (The rides). I think it's interesting because the rides represent scenes/characters in the book.
    My three words are: legno, la fata, burattini.
    The picture that interest me can be found here (www.pinocchio.it/.../attivita-parco.php) by clicking on "Foto con la Fata". You can visit this part of the park, and take a picture with the fairy!

    this website is to show what is in Collodi Park. I would like to visit Il Pescecane. I find this interesting because it looks like it uses multipule things to create the sculpture like thing, and seems very cool.
    My three words are: legno, vecchio, simbolicamente.
    The picture that interested me can be found here:(www.pinocchio.it/.../pinocchio.php)I like this picture because it displays a sculpture of the main character in the book/movie(s).

    This site is about a park in Italy that was made to commemorate the man who wrote Pinocchio. I would like to visit the la Giostra Veneziana Lagunare because it looks intense and heat pounding.
    My three words are: relax, una, and lungo.
    My picture is found at www.pinocchio.it/.../attivita-parco.php
    then clicking on: La Giostra Antica. I think this is cool because in the USA we have the same sort of boat rides except not gondolas.

    This website doesn't advertise a usual amusement park, instead it supports the Pinocchio Park. This park has rides I would go on because I would learn more about the story and history behing Pinocchio. This is "amusing" because learning about things you didn't previously know is fun!
    Three words- d'illustrazioni, racconto, mosaici.
    (www.pinocchio.it/.../attivita-parco.php) Picture I foun interesting. (Wooden pinocchio with long nose at top of page.)

    this website is to show all the attractions around Collodi Park, including rides and art from the story. I would like to visit Il Villaggio nel Parco di Pinocchio. It seems like it has an important role in the book, and has a great history for Collodi. Pinocchio runs away from home, and his adventure "begins" in this village. I guess that's where Collodi found his inspiration.
    My three words are: figurare, venti, piccolo
    (www.pinocchio.it/.../pescecane.php) this is the picture i found interesting. it's of Il Grande Pescecane, or the giant fish. the way they made the fish into a park attraction interested me, and i thought it was cool the way they used the old materials to make it.

    I think that this website was to show the beauty and importance of Parco di Pincchio. I think what is interesting about the Park because when you ride each ride you get another piece of the story.
    Three words- lungo la fata and vecchio.http://www.pinocchio.it/pinocchio/index.php
    Top picnnico with long nose
    I thought that this was interesting becasue it shows the real turning point of the story. It also showsthe problem in the story which is that his nose grows and he lies to much.

    6/8/2009 6:31:21 PM
  • Lindsay pd5

    Meghan- your picture reminded me of the story excatly.
    Maria- I like your picture it's really cool and is a good representation of the whale part in the story

  • douglasb p. 2

    The perpose of this website is to signify the importance of pinocchio in every itlain's life. i would like to visit the rides in the park because as you ride each ride, the park reveles piece by piece, the signifigence of pinocchio's life. I believe this is very interesting, because i have never seen any fairy tail devloped into a ride before. My three words are...
    vecchio, piccolo, and lungo. http://www.pinocchio.it/eng/pinocchio/#. At the very top of this page, there are a few pictures. The picture of the steel whale is the picture i picked because i like how the whale is designed and how it accually looks like a whale.

  • grant S P.2

    The prupose of this website is to show how much all italians love pinocchio and his creator carlo collodi. I would like to vist the rides because it would tell the story in a differnent way then just seeing the movie or reading it it would make you feel like you are liking the story.
    Three words: lungo, la fata,vecchio
    ONe picture that interests me is a picture of a man lounging at a table surounded by animals.http://www.pinocchio.it/fondazionecollodi/ This picture interests me because it shows how carlo collodi like animals... i guess.

    6/8/2009 7:18:20 PM
  • grant S P.2

    erik- i like how pinocchio is holding the cricket in your picture
    doug- your picture of the whale really reminded me about when pinocchio got swallowed by the whale in the story.

    6/8/2009 7:25:50 PM
  • MikeW P.2

    i believe this website is to show what Collodi park is and what it looks like.Il Pescecane is where i would like to visit. it really shows the whale part of the story (my favorite part).
    three words are: legno, lunga, e vechio.
    one thing that i would like to visit Il Pescecane so i can see what it would be like to be like pinnochio. www.pinocchio.it/.../pescecane.php

    6/8/2009 7:26:53 PM
  • douglasb p. 2

    grant- your picture of the guy serounded by animals reminds me of the carlo collondi's love for animals.
    Lindsay- nice try spelling pinocchio but great descriptiveness in your answer, and nice job including specific details in the answer as well :)

    Lindsay- your picture is very interesting....but at the same time confusing....what is it?

    Meghan- i like your picture because it is kind of like an animation of him with a triangle head!

  • GabriellaD pd.2

    This website is to show what is in the Parco di Collodi. I would visit the castle of the fairy. I would visit this because it would be like I was in the real fairy's castle, and you can see some of the rooms in the story.My three words are: piccolo, burattini,and avventure.The picture that intrests me can be found at: www.pinocchio.it/.../attrazioni.php. This is a picture of the baot Geppetto was on when the whale attacked. I liked this picture becuase it showed an important part in the book.
    Lindsay- I like your picture because it shows what the story was about. A boy who lied and his nose grew.
    Maria- I agree with you that the picture of the giant fish was cool because it was made out of old materials.

  • mike c p2

    This website is to tell about Collodi Park. I would like to visit Il Serpente because it is a cool looking statue, and I like snakes. my three words were: legno, vecchio, and lungo. L'alber Degli Zecchini is a cool looking picture. It kind of looks like a ride, but it is a statue. www.pinocchio.it/.../albero-zecchini.php

    6/8/2009 7:57:20 PM
  • mike c p2

    meghan- Your picture was wierd looking, and I did not know how it related to the story. It is a cool statue, but what is it.

    6/8/2009 7:59:06 PM
  • mike c p2

    Maria- This picture reminded me of when they lived inside of the whale. It took a while to figure it out, but i now realized that it was the whale.

  • Olivia p.5

    I think this website is to show tourists what Parco di Pincchio has to offer. I would visit Il paese dei Balocchi because it looks fairly old in the picture and i think it would be interesting to learn more about it while being there. The words I know are scuola, libri, and dove. A picture that interests me is the one of the whale. I don't know why it interested me but it caught my eye and it made me want to examine it.

    6/8/2009 9:00:46 PM
  • Olivia p.5

    Pugliese- I like your picture because the costumes are really bight and fun.
    Lindsay- Your picture confused me. After reading your description, i understood.

  • PeterW pd5

    This website is for people interested in Pinocchio Park in Italy. It describes what is located at the park and what you can do while you are there.
    I chose the Garzoni Garden. This garden is historical and has just been refreshed and is a tourist attraction. There are small pools, exotic plants, water shows and sculptures. There are hedge sculptures of goddesses and other mythical creatures. There are many side paths where you can see plants and the vegetation in different lighting.
    Three words in Italian that relate to Pinocchio are artisti, because the puppet master was an artist to make that amazing puppet, laboratori di creazione burattini, which is a pupet workshop like where the puppet master created the puppets and sorprendente e inaspettata, which is unexpected surprise which is what happened to pinocchio.
    The picture that interests me is the picture of the puppet master and Pinocchio. It shows the man holding the strings in one hand and a bird in the other. It is shown in a steel or iron form that has little corsion. The man are curved in this sculpure and have many details. The location of the picture is http://www.pinocchio.it/pinocchio/.

    6/8/2009 9:13:04 PM
  • PeterW pd5

    Mikeh pd 2.-I didn't notice that the park was about the man, I thought it was only about pinocchio.
    Lindsay per.5 - It makes sense that each ride would tell you about the story of Pinocchio. Like the whale ride representing when they lived in the whale.

    6/8/2009 9:34:46 PM
  • AmiliaV pd.5

    I believe this website is for people that don’t know the story of Pinocchio and/or for people that need to get more information on him. It can also, be for people that want to look at the places/historical sites that involved him.
    I would like to visit Paese dei Balocchi because the way its built. Plus, I would like to visit site where La Fata e Pinocchio because I just love the way it catches me eye.
    The picture of Pinocchio, on the first page, interests me because you have to look closely to see the details on it. Which, makes you see how delicate and ordinary the statue is.

    6/8/2009 9:36:12 PM
  • CarolineK p.5

    This website is about the story of Pinocchio written by Carlo Collodi. If I was there, I would like to visit il pescecane. This is interesting because it is in the middle of a pond in a garden that seems very pretty.
    Three words I know are
    grande, simbolo, and padre.
    The reason why I would like to visit this place is because this is one of the small but crucial parts in the story. www.pinocchio.it/.../pescecane.php

    6/8/2009 9:49:00 PM
  • AmiliaV pd.5

    Also, the three words in Italian I know are ragazzi, piccola, scuole.

    6/8/2009 9:52:11 PM
  • CarolineK p.5

    pugliese- I like your picture because if I was a little kid I would be very interested in taking my picture with the fairy.
    Gabriella- I think that the picture of the fairy's castle is very pretty. It reminds me of cinderella's castle in disney world.

    6/8/2009 9:53:41 PM
  • AlexisV pd. 5

    I beleive this website is mainly for Collodi Park. Personally, I would like to visit Le Giostre D'Epoca. Not only do I love rides, but then I will be able to learn more about the plot of the story and the scenes in the movie. Three words that are from the website that relate to the story of "Pinocchio" are, legno, burattini, e vecchio. The picture I that interests me the most can be found here: www.pinocchio.it/.../pinocchio.php). This picture is a carving of Pinocchio, who is the main character in the story.

    6/8/2009 9:55:47 PM
  • AmiliaV pd.5

    Maria pd.2- I like your picture mostly because its creative.

    MIKE- your picture is a little confusing

    6/8/2009 10:05:02 PM
  • AlexisV pd. 5

    Gabriella- I think the picture you chose caught my eye as well. I love the picture. It is a beautiful castle!
    Caroline- The picture you chose was very interesting. The whale was one of the major points in the story.

    6/8/2009 10:05:06 PM
  • HanselR pd. 5

    From what I can see, this is a website that has and focuses on information on Carlo Collodi and Pinocchio. I would like to visit the Parco di Collodi because it has the environments and atmosphere of the Pinocchio movie and story. If I watched the movie or read the story right beforehand, it would probably amaze me, seeing everything that was actually in the story.

    Three words on the website I knew were parco, verde, and storia.

    The picture of the statue, once again in Parco di Collodi, interested me because it showed a sequence, or at least I thought so, where Pinocchio's nose grew.

    Doug - Yeah, I forgot. The rides would be fun, I guess.

    Peter - I didn't see Garzoni Garden. When I looked at it, it looked pretty interesting to me, too.

    6/8/2009 10:27:18 PM
  • JoeR P.2

    i thought that the whole park was interesting. i would really like to visit. i thought the statue was cool. I would like to get a closer look to it. my three words are baleno, vero, e` naso. the picture that most interested me was the one of the statue. i was confused that they used old and cruse materials. did they keep it from when it was made or did they just not update it?

    6/9/2009 7:10:00 AM
  • Kailag

    Something that i would like to visit is the butterfly house because i love butterflies.three words that i saw was bevenuti,toscana,babini.one picture that interests me is pinocchio piu grande del mondo. i thnk that is very cool how they made the big giant pinocchio.

    6/9/2009 4:48:45 PM
  • mikeh p2

    AlexisV pd. 5 — I think that it is interesting sculpture, i wonder how they made it when it has such odd shapes

    6/9/2009 5:00:37 PM
  • mikeh p2

    douglasb p. 2— i think that is a very cool picture too, it looks like the teeth are made of stone i thin that is very creative.

    6/9/2009 5:06:18 PM
  • Trevor p5

    This website has a lot of information about Pinochio.The picture to the rigth reminds me of when Pinochio lies and can't get away with it. The garden grabbed my attention because it looked cooland seemed natural.

    Hansel-I did not notice the rides until I went back and looked at the website again. What does parco mean?

    Pugliese- I did not know that a fairy was in the movie until I read your comment.

    6/9/2009 5:10:35 PM
  • alexsis v

    i think this website is kind of like a preview of how the story goes. i would like to visit the butterfly house because i like butterflies alot. three words that i know that are related to pinocchio are personalita,pazzo and comico. A picture that i thought that really popped out was the picture of carlos collidi because it is really old and you get to see what he looks like

    6/9/2009 5:50:35 PM
  • KaylaK p.2

    This website is here to show and explain everything that it at Collodi Park. I would like to visit Le Giostre D`epoca. I would like to visit here because there are rides and

    6/9/2009 6:07:25 PM
  • KaylaK p.2

    I think that this is showing and explaining Collodi Park. I would like to visit Le Giostre D`Epoca because of the rides there. I am a big fan of rides and it also reminds me of Disney World. At Disney there is a ride there called Small World. On the ride there was people/puppets that were throughtout the whole ride, and I think it's interesting how in two other places in the world there can be two rides that are similar.
    My three words are: tecnologia, artisti, and d'illustrazioni.
    The picture that really interests me is the picture of Pinocchio. I like this picture because it shows a different way of how Pinocchio was illustrated. www.pinocchio.it/.../attivita-parco.php To see the picture click on this website and then click on i cavallini under Le Giostre D`Epoca.

    This website is about a park dedicated to pinocchio. I would like to visit the enlarged reality because it sounds interesting. I know the words fata, legno, and parlante. one picture that interests me is the one of the children running because I don't know why they are running or where.

    6/9/2009 9:24:29 PM
  • saraH.p.5

    i think the website was to explain what Collidi Park is, and who it is dedicated to. i would like to visit the park because i think it would be cool to learn more about the story and life of Pinocchio.

    my 3 words are: legno, la fata, and artista.

    my picture is...
    http://www.pinocchio.it/pinocchio/index.php#

    this picture intrests me because i like how Pinocchio is not only made of wood, but he is made of steel. i like how he is also looking up at the fairy, in a way like he is very sincere.

    6/10/2009 8:31:36 PM
  • saraH.p.5

    my two other coments...


    meghanC: i liked how you said that you found the park intreseting, because the sculptures are made from multiple things. i agree with you 100% i think that is very cool and unique.

    MariaP: i liked your picture of the "Giant Fish", and i agree that it is intresting how it is made out of different materials. it is very cool and intresting.

    6/10/2009 8:36:23 PM
  • SaraL P.5

    This website shows people Collodi Park and tells the story of Pinocchio. I would like to see the rides because i think it would be fun and helps people know more about the story.

    My three words: legno, vecchio, la fata

    In il parco, there is a sculpture of the whale in Pinocchio. I like this picture because it represents and important part in the story in which he finds Geppetto finally.

    Pugliese: i think that the foto con la fata would be fun for kids and she iis important to the story

    Lindsay: i think your right about that ebing a good turning point
