Italy in the Age of Pinocchio 
Children and Danger in the Liberal Era

Detailing the development of a new Western attitude to children and their place in society, this book tells the story of Italy’s forgotten children at the end of the nineteenth century – foundlings, street children, factory and mine workers, emigrants and delinquents – and illustrates the efforts of the recently unified Italian state to help them.
