This is the original Italian version of "The Adventures of Pinocchio", the story of a puppet who wants to become a real boy (although not from the start). The adventures include meeting Fox and Cat, becoming an donkey, finding himself inside a whale... For those wanting an add-on, there is a freely available audio book, in Italian too, in http://www.liberliber.it/audioteca/c/collodi/index.htm

I created the PDF from the Wikisource text, with pdflatex. The book is nicely formatted and typeset, with table of contents, etc. It's also proofread. It has minimal margins, and 9pt font size ("-ss" stands for small screen), it may be too small for some people, but the source files are available on request if someone wants to try different settings.

I also added a "chapterbar" to the top of every page. It has two bars marking the progress on the whole book and on the current chapter, which I hope are unobtrusive and helpful enough.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.
