1590 Lesina Italian Satire Economics & Gastronomy

1590 Lesina Italian Satire Economics & Gastronomy Marriage Italy Ferrara RARE

‘Della Lesina’ is a curious and rather obscure 16th-century burlesque treatise, parodying and satirizing many of the academic and political tropes found in Italy at the time. Written by an unknown author, but most like a Florentine, this book depicts an imaginary academy of Lesina that advised companies on economics, gastronomy, and politics – which was ultimately written as a ‘how to’ or guidebook for readers on household endeavors, financial planning, cooking, and marriage.
