L'alceo, Favola Pescatoria

L'Alceo, Favola Pescatoria, by Antonio Ongaro, is a classic example of 16th-century Italian literature. This edition is carefully emended from the 1582 Venice printing by Francesco Ziletti, believed to be the first edition of all. A charming "favola pescatoria" (fishing fable), "L'Alceo" offers a glimpse into the pastoral and literary tastes of the Italian Renaissance.

Ongaro's work combines elements of classical pastoral poetry with a focus on fishing, creating a unique and engaging narrative. This edition preserves the original language and style, allowing modern readers to appreciate the nuances of Renaissance Italian. Suitable for scholars and enthusiasts of Italian literature, 'L'Alceo' remains a testament to the enduring appeal of classical themes and the beauty of the Italian language.
