Geppetto (novel)

Geppetto is one of the characters from the book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. He is the one that carved Pinocchio to become a puppet and adopted him as a son.
== Description ==
He is an old carpenter that lives in extreme poverty, to the point he is unable to afford to have fireplaces and settles for a painted one. He notoriously wears a yellow wig that covers his baldness, but due to looking like cornmush meal, he is often given the nickname "Polentina", to which he reacts badly. 
Although Geppetto doesn't seem to get along with children, he wants to have a son.
Despite his anger and slight vanity, Geppetto can be considered one of the nicest characters on the novel. Even when Pinocchio loses his way, he remembers his father teaching him to save enemies. After Pinocchio loses his feet, Geppetto caresses him, gives him food, fixes his feet and trades his jacket to get him a schoolbook so he can go to school.
