Pinocchio and Fortunello

New SEVI motifs for new markets

Pinocchio and Fortunello demonstrate how political change, the vicissitudes of the market, as well as fashion and technology, taste and educational methods have influenced the development of wooden toys in Gröden. Vinzenz Senoner's (Vastlè, Wolkenstein) SEVI company managed to keep pace with the societal changes of the 20th century and adapt to new markets with a supply of high-quality products.
