Which of the heroes of the fairy tale about Cipollino is where. One of the favorite fairy-tale characters of Soviet children
The writing
CIPOLLINO (Italian Cipollino) - the hero of the fairy tale story by D. Rodari "The Adventures of Cipollino" (1951), a brave onion boy. The image of C. is largely a new version of Pinocchio, the famous hero of C. Collodi. He is just as direct, touching, good-natured, restless, but at the same time not at all capricious, not at all self-willed and much less trusting. He never deceives anyone, firmly keeps his word and always acts as a defender of the weak. Ch. looks almost exactly like all boys. Only his head has the shape of an onion with sprouted green arrows instead of hair. It looks very nice, but it is bad for those who want to drag Ch. for his green forelock. Tears immediately begin to flow from their eyes. Ch. himself wept only once during the action of the story: when the Limonchiki soldiers arrested Pope Cipollone. "Get back, stupid!" - ordered Ch. to a tear, and she never showed up again. Ch. was not afraid of the formidable cavalier Tomato and boldly stood up for his offended godfather Pumpkin; he deftly euthanized the dog Mastino so that godfather Pumpkin could take his house. Ch. is courageous and knows how to make friends. The evil Tomato manages to put the kid in jail, but thanks to his ability to be friends, Ch. not only gets out himself, but also saves those who are innocently languishing there, including his father. The formidable cavalier Tomato lost to the little daredevil, thanks to whom the Countess Cherries escaped from their palace, Baron Orange went "to the station to carry suitcases", and the castle of the Countesses turned into the Children's Palace. The image of Ch., despite the apparent fabulousness, is very truthful. All actions and reactions of the hero are psychologically reliable. Before us is a living boy from a simple family, endowed with the best of human qualities. But at the same time it is an image-symbol of boyish courage, children's friendship and devotion.

1. History of creation
fairy tale rodari cipollino artistic
Cipollino appeared in 1951 in the book The Adventures of Cipollino by the Italian writer Gianni Rodari. Being an adherent of social justice and a defender of the poor, Rodari in allegorical form brought out as negative characters the Sicilian latifundist barons, large landowners, who are opposed by honest and poor people. After World War II, Gianni Rodari worked as a columnist for Unita, the newspaper of the Italian communists. In 1950 he was appointed editor of a children's magazine. In 1951 he published his first children's poetry collection, which was called "The Book of Merry Poems". And then - and his well-known fairy tale in the future. Now many people know who wrote "Cipollino". But in 1953, when the fairy tale first appeared in the USSR in the translation of Z. Potapova, few people heard about the young Italian author. But the work immediately fell in love with both young readers and literary critics. Books with drawings are published in millions of copies. And at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in 1961, they shot a cartoon based on the work. In 1973 - the film-tale "Cipollino" (where the author played himself, a storyteller-inventor). The work became so popular that it was included in the school curriculum for Soviet schoolchildren. The fairy tale has been translated into many languages of the world, plays based on it, a ballet to the music of Karen Khachaturian have been staged.
Realism, epic, social fairy tale.
3. Topics and issues
The book highlights the following social issues:
1. Ordinary people are not interested in abstract goals like building a “society of universal happiness”
2. The townsfolk need specifics. As a rule, they begin to protest when they themselves are directly affected by injustice and abuse of power. For example, when they threaten to demolish their house, when they have not been paid their salaries for months. Therefore, they need to offer concrete solutions to their specific problems.
3. The main principle of grassroots movements is self-organization. Informal leaders can be nominated - people who understand this problem better than others. Chipolino, - the father said in parting, - now you are already big and you can think about yourself. Uncle Cipolla will take care of your mother and brothers, and you go wandering around the wide world, learn your wits.
How can I study? I don't have any books, and I can't afford to buy them.
It doesn't matter, life will teach. Just keep your eyes open - try to see through all sorts of rogues and swindlers, especially those who have power.
Thus leaders become leaders, whose word is law, whose decision cannot be challenged.
5. In order to create a powerful protest movement that fights not only for the interests of your home, your street, your factory, you need a network of small self-organizing groups. These groups must learn to interact with each other. Chipolino finds good true friends. And among his friends, Cherry is a representative of a hostile class. History knows many examples when representatives of the rich class went over to the side of the poor because of their political convictions.
7. What gives people participation in protest actions? First, self-respect. People begin to feel like a real power, they see that they can manage their own lives. Secondly, participants in social movements wean themselves from trusting authorities. The myths about the “good king”, about the “strong hand” that the people allegedly need, cease to work. They don't believe in them anymore. Thirdly, people gain invaluable experience of resistance. Even if something did not work out, if, for example, the strike was suppressed or not all the demands of the protesters were met, the experience will still remain! People who have already once felt like people are not so easy to force to obey.
4. Idea and pathos (ideological and emotional assessment)
The tale of Gianni Rodari is addressed not only to children, but also to adults. Unfortunately, in modern society, as many years ago, there is a tendency to treat the townsfolk with contempt. For politicians they are faceless voters, for intellectual snobs they are a stupid herd. They are unable to change their lives on their own. They were given the humiliating nickname "vegetables" and calmed down on that. But even among vegetables there are Chipolinos - and the book is dedicated to these Chipolinos. It tells in detail how ordinary people suddenly refuse to tolerate injustice and believe the next fairy tales of officials, how they unite to fight the authorities, and how they achieve their goals.
5. Main characters
There are no human characters in this book: all the characters, like Chipolino, were raised in gardens and orchards under the gentle sun of Italy. These are the honest poor shoemaker Pumpkin and his godfather Pear, the faithful girlfriend Chipolino, the girl Radish and the young Count Cherry, to whom communication with the cheerful children of the poor gives much more pleasure than walking accompanied by the arrogant aunts of Countess Cherries. But the evil and cruel Prince Lemon dominates all these people, whom Chipolino accidentally steps on his foot during his solemn procession through the city.
6. Plot and composition
Trying to protect his son from royal wrath, Chipolino's father takes his guilt upon himself and ends up behind bars. Now the onion boy and his friends are faced with the task of rescuing the old father from prison, and yet another drama is brewing in the town: the swaggering Signor Tomato orders the destruction of the tiny house of Pumpkin, supposedly built by a shoemaker on the master's land ... and also stupid taxes ...
The work consists of twenty-nine chapters with an epilogue, there are also poetic additions "Songs" of characters.
7. Artistic originality
The story is full of characters and events. There is a whole gallery of beautiful images, both positive and negative. Beautiful, because they all very clearly show the diversity of human relationships. Although the theme of the fairy tale is not new and is similar to the theme of the works of many writers, nevertheless “Chippolino” is unique due to its artistic originality and manner of presentation. The presentation of complex material in a relaxed fairy-tale form, giving human features and characteristics to plants allows us to perceive it in an easy, playful way. I read the fairy tale translated by Z. Potapova and found it easy, which corresponds to the very genre of the book, competent and accurately attributed, bringing the Italian fairy tale closer to the perception of Russian readers.
8. The meaning of the work
Today, the worldview of teenagers is largely made up of watching American cartoons, action films and horror stories. Such superheroes as Spiderman, Ninja Turtles, Batman become ideals for teenagers, whose heroic behavior is manifested through violence, masculinity through selfishness and vanity.
Modern children's writers offer a limited number of stereotypes of behavior that fit into just two strategies - children, in order to save their face, must either be masters of the situation, or should not even try to master it.
Gianni Rodari's book, in my opinion, is unique. It is written for children, easy and interesting to read.
Why are fairy tales immortal? Civilizations die, peoples disappear, and their stories, the wisdom of fairy tales and legends come to life again and again and excite us. What kind of attractive force is hidden in the depths of their story? Why are fairy tales as loved in the modern world as they were many centuries ago?
Every nation has many wonderful and interesting tales. They reflect the life of the people. People dream of a better fate, and fight the oppressors. Even in ancient times, people invented and orally passed on to their descendants wonderful fantastic dreams of goodness and justice.
The story is full of characters and events. There is a whole gallery of beautiful images, both positive and negative. Beautiful, because they all very clearly show the diversity of human relationships. The adventures of the onion boy make us laugh, worry. We sincerely rejoice in the small and big victories of Cipollino and his friends. We rejoice because the main character and his friends are upholding justice. They arouse our sympathy, because they are endowed with such qualities as kindness, mutual assistance, greed, cruelty, indifference are alien to them.
The fairy tale teaches good, forces to act in difficult circumstances. Even children at any age have difficult circumstances. The author teaches his reader not to give up, to fight, to be strong and enduring.

This fairy tale by the Italian writer was extremely popular in the USSR. It is one of the most requested children's books today.
The famous children's writer, storyteller and journalist Gianni Rodari was born in Italy (in the town of Omegna) in 1920. His full name is Giovanni Francesco Rodari.
The family of the baker Giuseppe Rodari had three boys: Gianni, Cesare and Mario. The father died early, and the children grew up in their mother's native village - Varesotto.
The future journalist and writer grew up as a sickly and weak boy. He was fond of music and reading. After graduating from seminary, at the age of 17 he began teaching in elementary grades. During World War II, Rodari was released from service due to poor health.
Initially, he was fond of the ideas of fascism, but after the imprisonment of his brother Cesare in a German concentration camp, as well as other circumstances, he revised his views and became a member of the Resistance Movement. In 1944 he joined the Italian Communist Party.
From 1948, Rodari worked as a journalist for the communist newspaper Unita and also wrote for children. His most famous work, The Adventures of Cipollino, was published in 1951. In the Russian translation by Zlata Potapova, edited by Samuil Marshak, the tale was published in 1953.
J. Rodari repeatedly came to the USSR.
In 1970, he received the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, after which he gained worldwide fame.
Many poems by J. Rodari for children were translated into Russian by S. Marshak, Ya. Akim, I. Konstantinova.
Gianni Rodari died of a serious illness on April 14, 1980 in Rome.
"The Adventures of Cipollino" (1951)
The plot is brief
Cipollino is an onion boy. He lived in a large onion family: mother, father Cipollone and 7 brothers: Cipolletto, Cipollotto, Cipolloccia, Cipolluccia, etc. The family was poor, living in a house the size of a wooden seedling box on the very outskirts of the city.
Once this place decided to visit the ruler of the country - Prince Lemon.
The Lemon Court Soldiers urgently began spraying the outskirts with cologne and perfume to eliminate the smell of onions. During the stampede, old Cipollone accidentally crushed the ruler's crooked, thin leg with a callus. For this he was arrested and thrown into prison. When Cipollino got a meeting with his father, he learned that not criminals were sitting in the country's prison, but only decent and honest people. Father advised Cipollino to walk around the world and learn the mind. Cipollino entrusted his mother and his brothers to his uncle, tied his things in a bundle and hit the road.
In one of the villages, he met an old man, Pumpkin, who was sitting in a brick box - this was his house, for the construction of which he saved money all his life and collected 118 bricks. Cipollino began to ask the godfather Pumpkin about his life, but then the inhabitants began to hide in their homes - Signor Tomato got out of the carriage.
He announced to his godfather Pumpkin that he built his "palace" illegally on the land of the landowners Countess Cherry. Pumpkin objected, Chipollino defended him. And then Signor Tomato asked him why he was not working. The boy replied that he was studying - studying scammers. Signor Tomato became interested, and then Cipollino brought a mirror to Signor Tomato. He realized that the boy was mocking him, and became furious. He grabbed Cipollino by the hair and began to ruffle. Immediately, tears welled up from the bow, and he hurried away.
Master Vinogradinka offered Chipollino to work as an apprentice in his workshop. And people flocked to him from everywhere.
He met Professor Grusha, who played a pear violin; with the gardener Luk Porey, on whose mustache his wife dried clothes in sunny weather; with a family of centipedes.
Signor Tomato returned to the village with a dozen lemon soldiers and Mastino the watchdog. They forcefully pushed the poor old Pumpkin out of his house, in which they settled a watchdog. But Cipollino dissolved sleeping pills in water and gave the thirsty dog a drink. When he fell asleep, Cipollino took him to the park of Countess Cherries.
But now everyone was afraid of the revenge of Signor Tomato. The house was carefully loaded onto a cart, transported to the forest and left under the supervision of Bilberry's godfather.
And at that time two guests arrived at the estate of Countess Cherry - Baron Orange and Duke Mandarin. Baron Orange ate all the stocks of his peasants, then he ate all the trees of his gardens, then he began to sell his lands and buy food. When he had nothing left, he asked for a visit to one of the Countess Cherries.
Baron Orange had a huge belly and could not move independently. Therefore, servants had to be assigned to him with a wheelbarrow, on which his stomach was transported. The Duke of Mandarin also caused a lot of trouble. He was very greedy. So he acted out suicide scenes. Countess Cherry gave Signor Mandarin jewelry, silk shirts, etc., to distract him from bad thoughts. Because of these troubles, the Countess Cherries were in a terrible mood.
At this time, Signor Tomato was urgently reported about the disappearance of the Pumpkin house. Signor Tomato sent soldiers to put down the rebellion. Almost all the villagers were arrested. Cipollino and the girl Radish ran away from the soldiers.
The nephew of Countess Cherry, the boy Cherry, lived extremely lonely among luxury. One day he saw village children running down the road with satchels on their backs. He asked his aunts to send him to school. But he was a count! The aunts assigned him a teacher, Signor Petrushka. But the teacher turned out to be a terrible bore: he hung ads with prohibitions everywhere. Once, just on the day of the arrests, Cherry saw Cipollino and Radish behind the fence.
The children became friends. But Signor Tomato heard their cheerful laughter and forbade Cherry to be friends with the poor.
The boy Cherry was very upset and constantly cried. But they laughed at him. Only the maid Strawberry sincerely pitied Cherry. Soon Cherry developed a fever. He began to repeat the names of Chipollino and Radish. Everyone decided that the child was delusional, and doctors were invited. But they couldn't help Cherry. Then Strawberry invited the poor but truthful Dr. Chestnut. He said that Cherry had melancholy and needed to communicate with other children. For these words, Dr. Chestnut was expelled from the castle.
Cipollino was finally seized and thrown into the darkest and deepest cell that was found in the prison of Countess Cherry. But by chance he met the Mole, who was digging a new tunnel. Cipollino persuaded Mole to dig a new underground corridor leading towards the dungeon where his friends were. Mole agreed.
When Signor Tomato discovered that Cipollino's cell was empty, he was furious. He sank down on the bench in frustration, the cell door slammed shut in a gust of wind. The tomato was stuck. At this time, Cipollino and Mole got to the camera of friends. Familiar voices and sighs of Pumpkin's godfather were already heard. But then Master Vine lit a match, and the Mole hated the light. He abandoned Cipollino and his friends.
Cherry learned that Signor Tomato carries the keys to the dungeon in the pocket of his stocking. He slept in stockings. Cherry turned to Strawberry with a request to bake a delicious chocolate cake and give him sleeping pills. Tomato ate the cake with pleasure and snored. So Cherry and Strawberry released all the prisoners. In the morning, Tomato sent an urgent telegram to Prince Lemon that riots broke out in the castle of Countess Cherries.
Then there were many adventures, but the struggle with the rich rulers ended in the victory of the poor. Prince Lemon, seeing the Banner of Liberty, went to the once abandoned dunghill. Countess Cherries left immediately. Signor Peas also left the country. Beans stopped serving Baron Orange, pushing the wheelbarrow with his belly. And without Beans, the baron could not move. Therefore, Orange soon lost weight. As soon as he gained the ability to move, he tried to beg. But he was immediately shamed and advised to work as a loader at the station. Now he is slim. Duke Mandarin did not work, but joined Orange and began to live at his expense. Kind Orange could not refuse him. Signor Petrushka became the watchman of the castle. Kum Pumpkin got a job as a gardener in this castle. And his student was Signor Tomato - however, before that, Tomato had to serve in prison for several years. Master Vinogradinka was elected chairman of the village. The castle was handed over to the children. A school, a room for creativity, playrooms and other rooms for children were arranged in it.
Analysis of the fairy tale by G. Rodari "The Adventures of Cipollino"
A fairy tale at all times and among all peoples expressed the dream of the triumph of justice and the hope for a better future.
In the fabulous fruit, berry and vegetable country of G. Rodari, everything that grows right on the ground is the people: Chipollino, Leek, Pumpkin, Strawberry, Blueberry. But the gentleman Tomato has already risen above the earth and the people and oppresses him. Lawyer Pea clings to everything with his mustache, just to climb higher, turns out to be a traitor. Countess Cherries, Baron Orange, Duke Mandarin - all these fruits grow on trees, they ascended high, completely detached from their native soil, what do they care about the troubles and sufferings of those who live below, on earth? The people lived in this country hard, because the ruler there was Prince Lemon. Can life be sweet with Lemon?
Chipollino is a cheerful and smart onion boy. All the characters in the fairy tale are vegetables or fruits: godfather Pumpkin, shoemaker Grapes, lawyer Peas, girl Radish, boy Cherry, music professor Pear, old Cipolla, etc. The author said that in this fabulous garden society, social antagonisms operate, as in life: modest “honest citizens” are oppressed by the evil and greedy Signor Tomato, the swaggering Prince Lemon with an army of Lemons and the proud Countess Cherries.
But Rodari was sure that society could be transformed in favor of ordinary working people, moreover, by the forces of the people themselves. Supervised the process of Cipollino.
When his father Cipolla and all the poor garden brethren were put in prison by Signor Tomato on the orders of Prince Lemon, the resilient Cipollino set off to wander in order to "learn the mind" and "study the swindlers and rogues" well. He finds true friends (the clever girl Radish, the kind and smart boy Cherry) and with their help frees his father and other prisoners from prison. Then the entire vegetable village drives its tormentors and parasites Tomato, Lemon and Cherry into prison, and turns the castle of evil countesses into a cheerful Children's Palace, where garden kids, led by Cipollino, go to play and learn.
I would like to end the article with the words of Cipollino: “In this world it is quite possible to live in peace, there is enough space for everyone on Earth.”
