Specialist Notes

Extremely rare original edition.Francesco Agricoletti, born in Venafro and died around 1674, was the author of historical and literary works. One of his "Description of the Kingdom of Naples" remained unpublished. However, some of his fictionalized stories with a picaresque background saw the light, including "The paraninfo dream" (Rome 1647 and Venice 1650). It is missing from Gamba and Piantanida.
