Cipollino is an onion boy, and his name is speaking, from the Italian "cipolla", i.e. "onion". In appearance, he is an ordinary boy, only his head is in the shape of an onion, and green arrows stick out instead of hair. Together with all his numerous relatives, he lives in a fairyland, all the inhabitants of which resemble fruits or vegetables. On the pages of the fairy tale there are the evil cavalier Tomato, the unlucky godfather Pumpkin, Professor Grusha, the arrogant Countess Cherries and their nephew, the little Count Cherry, Prince Lemon and his Lemon soldiers, the clever lawyer Green Peas, the master Grape, the girl Radish and, of course, father Cipollino , old Cipollone.
Once Cipollone accidentally stepped on the foot of the pampered Prince Lemon, and then he was considered a dangerous rebel and sentenced to life imprisonment. So Cipollino learned that in the prisons of his country they sit entirely honest people, who are oppressed by the rich, and decided to rescue his father and his comrades. Chipollino and his friends will have to experience many adventures, but at the end of the story, the evil and stupid rich people and their henchmen flee the country, and Chipollino and his friends build a new happy life. It is not surprising that this story was so popular in the Soviet Union.
However, Cipollino is able to please himself. This is a lively and resourceful boy from a simple poor family who knows firsthand what difficulties are, but never gives up and does not hang up his nose. He is a true friend and always keeps his word, he is brave and courageous, and even Chipollino's grief can be turned into a driving force. He cried only once, when the soldiers took old Cipollone to prison, but after that he immediately set to work, considering how to save his father from an unjust sentence.
In 1952, a continuation of the fairy tale, "Cipollino and Soap Bubbles" (Cipollino e le bolle di sapone), was published, but it was not translated into Russian and is practically unknown in the countries of the former Soviet Union(Soviet Union).
When the Funny Pictures magazine was released in 1956, Cipollino became one of the members of the Cheerful People Club, whose characters appeared not only on the pages of this popular children's magazine, but also in numerous cartoons about their adventures.

Song Cipollino
from m/f "The Adventures of Cipollino"
The words: Samuil Marshak
Music: Nikolai Peiko
I am a cheerful Cipollino.
I grew up in Italy
Where oranges ripen
Both lemons and olives
Figs and so on.
But under the blue sky
Not olive, not lemon -
I was born an onion.
So grandfather Cipollone
I am coming as a grandson.
Father has a lot of kids
Noisy family:
Chipolletto, Chipollucha,
Cipollotto, Cipollocio
And the last one is me!
We all grew up in garden beds.
We are very poor.
That's why we have in patches
Jackets and pants.
Gentlemen in shiny hats
Our yard is being walked around.
You can see our onion smell
Too sharp.
And we are honored by the poor.
There is no corner on the whole earth,
Where you won't find
Luke on the table!
Known all over the world
Bulb family:
Chipolletto, Chipollucha,
Cipollotto, Cipollocio
And, of course, me!
Behind the high fence
An orange is ripening.
Well, I don't need fences.
I am not a nobleman.
I am a cibula, I am a chipolla,
Garden bow.
I finished in the garden
School of onion sciences.
But not a century for the poor bow
Live in a native nest.
Although the separation was bitter,
I left the house.
I go where it's better
To distant lands.
Goodbye, Chipolluccia,
Cipolletto, Cipollotto,
Brothers and friends!

Analysis of the work
"The Adventures of Cipollino" is a fairy tale-allegory, where the author tried to show social injustice. In the images of Countess Cherry, Senor Tomato, Prince Lemon, Italian large landowners are ridiculed, and ordinary people are shown under the images of Cipollino and his friends.
Cipollino himself is the embodiment of a leader that others can follow. With the support of friends and like-minded people, it becomes possible to change the existing order, which does not suit the population. Even among the opposite camp, one can find friends who support the self-respect and interests of ordinary people.

Even in modern society there is a division into social strata. But humanity, mutual assistance, justice, kindness, the ability to get out of any situation with dignity - exists outside of time.
