STORY

It is a well known fact that after God created all the colors, he spotted a little brushstroke on the color blue, standing out for its beauty. The brushstroke seemed at times blue, at times turquoise or azure, with yellow and green reflections. God noticed its melancholy, its mutability and its wisdom. All qualities difficult to find in one thing all at once. So, he gave the color the name Turchino and let the brushstroke fly away in the shape of a little could.

Something less known is that Turchino once met a tree and fell in love with it. The tree, named Pinocchio, was found by Turchino shaking angrily on the top of a hill, longing to run and jump, cursing its condition of legless plant.

Some of their adventures, at a time when Pinocchio was a marionette and Turchino a blue fairy, were narrated in the book Pinocchio, by C. Collodi. Their adventures continue to these days, everytime that something wise, melancholic and ever changing meets something jolly, innocent and restless in its wanting to be something it cannot be.
