Pinocchio creator Collodi (5)
I believe the answer is:
carlo
'pinocchio creator collodi' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for carlo that I've seen before include "An Italian Charles" , "- Goldoni, playwright" , "SECOND PART OF 1 ACROSS" , "An Italian Charley" , "See 9" .)
