Le Sottilissime Astuzie Di Bertoldo by Giulio Cesare Croce
A lively, picaresque collection of comic episodes centered on a shrewd, earthy peasant who is invited to a Lombard royal court and repeatedly uses rough common sense, wordplay and small deceptions to expose the pretensions of nobles and bureaucrats; told in a folksy, dialect-inflected voice, the stories mix coarse humor and satire to celebrate popular wit and poke fun at social hierarchy.
