PINOCCHIO THEATER

Wooden theater with Pinocchio and Geppetto

Some details...

° CARILLON THEATER: Wooden theater models with an internal automatic music box and Colombina and Pantalone dancing.

The wood is cut with an electric fret saw and assembled with joints, natural glues, and tiny nails. The automatic musical box is hidden, rechargeable from the butterfly on the back, which makes Colombina and Pantalone dance in a circle to the notes of "Greenleaves".

They are reproductions of miniature stage sets complete with every decorative detail: the backdrop with the panoramas of ancient Florence, the wings, the cantilevered curtains, the sides and the decorated beams and of course the large public front side.

° DECORATIVE THEATER: Structurally identical to the musical model, but equipped with a slot on the back that allows it to be hung on the wall; perfect if placed under a light source that can partially illuminate the "backstage," thus imitating theater spotlights.

The characters depicted are the masks of the Commedia dell’Arte: ° Colombina and Pantalone, or ° Arlecchina and Pulcinella. Or the most famous couple of Florence ° Dante and Beatrice.

The backdrops: ° “View of the Arno” with the Ponte a Santa Trìnita in the foreground and Ponte Vecchio on the horizon; ° “Piazza della Signoria” with the Loggia dei Lanzi on the horizon.

° PINOCCHIO THEATER: Decorative wooden theater with Pinocchio and Geppetto. The set design, complete with many tiny details, represents the Geppetto's carpentry shop, the birthplace of Pinocchio.

The character suspended by a thin brass wire represents Geppetto at the moment he begins to build Pinocchio, working on a piece of wood which, just roughly sketched, already begins to speak.

This model of the front is very different from the Classic, and represents the magical world of fairy tales with floral decorations and the two famous masks of laughter and tears, the classic symbol of the Theatrical Arts.

The Love for Theatrical Art

A model theater is a wonderful gift for those who love art and history and a beautiful display keepsake for collectors. An excellent piece of authentic craftsmanship as a decoration that stimulates the imagination in a child's room but also to decorate a creative or play space in an unusual and fun way. The right inspiration for those who work in the world of entertainment (from a director to a set designer to an actor or actress or stagehand) and in scenography (architect or engineer or set builder) as well as, of course, for all art lovers (whether graphic designer, painter, or musician).
Actors and actresses will be amazed by such a unique and original gift, as will a lover of dance or opera or cinema. For a lover of theatricality who has just graduated from Dams, it will be a different surprise, recalling the visual art they have studied. A music box with the panorama of Florence is an unusual and unexpected gift to fondly remember Florence and its medieval and Renaissance magic.

Home Decor for Theater Lovers
The best destination for these decorative objects is the home and work environment. Elegant and refined, they will be spectacular if hung on the wall and illuminated by a small spotlight right above, shining light on the stage, or even placed under an existing wall lamp. And if you work in a Design or Art studio, it will be a unique and tasteful piece even on display on a shelf or bookcase.
