A new museum dedicated to toys has opened in Florence. The items exhibited (more than a thousand) date from the 18th century to the second half of the 20th century and are a combination of two different collections: the first one comes from the Museo del Giocattolo e del Bambino of Cormano (Milan), which has closed in order to move to Florence; while the second one is a collection of puppets and items concerning Pinocchio, that has been put together by Giuseppe Garbarino, president of the “Pinocchio a casa sua” association.
The museum is located in via dell’Oriuolo, just a few steps away from piazza Duomo and the Biblioteca delle Oblate.
