Abstract
This pamphlet is similar to another I have recorded one year earlier with the same title, but there from Istituto Editoriale rather than Istituto Editoriale Giovanile. The series is not I Romaneschi, as there, but rather Libro e Moschetto, Biblioteca del Giovane Fascista. This edition, one year later, is rougher in execution but adds three stronger illustrations. Note the strong feminine figure for La libbertà on 28. The pamphlet presents the same twenty-four fables, now on 36 pages with no T of C at the end. Blossom Kirschenbaum, a translator of Trilussa's fables, writes in an article in Fables from Trastevere, an article in Italian Journal in 1994: From sonnets he passed on to fables and satire, and to indirect but sharp criticisms of the foibles and brutalities of Fascism. Yet in a sense he was non-partisan, and it was said that both the Pope and Mussolini laughed at his verses (33).
