Livorno: Vignozzi, 1825. Leather. Very Good. 6.5" x 4". None. A collection of comedies from the much loved 18th century Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni.

He was a Venetian, and was unafraid of making use of regional vernacular dialects. Perhaps even more subversive was his disinterest in religious subjects. After moving to France following a feud, he even adopted an anti-clerical tone.
