Roman Sonnets by Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli

"Roman Sonnets" is a collection of poetic works that delve into the life and culture of 19th-century Rome through the lens of its common people. The sonnets are written in Romanesco, the local dialect of Rome, which adds authenticity and depth to the portrayal of the city's inhabitants. The poems are known for their satirical and often irreverent tone, as they critique social norms, religious hypocrisy, and the struggles of the lower classes. Through vivid characters and sharp wit, the sonnets paint a rich, albeit unvarnished, picture of Roman society, capturing the essence of its everyday life and the spirit of its people.
