Stromboli's Caravan is Stromboli's home and theatre in Pinocchio. In the film, the gypsy Stromboli is passing through the village. J. Worthington Foulfellow and Gideon take Pinocchio there to sell him to the puppet master, who locks him in a birdcage. Pinocchio is rescued by the Blue Fairy.

Albert Hurter originally drew sketches of the theatre as a building rather than a caravan. Gustaf Tenggren's inspirational sketches were based on this design, and, though this version of the theatre was not used in the film, it provided the basis for the exterior and entrance of the Pinocchio ride in Disneyland.^[1]
