italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Here is the bibliographical information on the volumes:
Orlando furioso di Ludovico Ariosto raccontato da Italo Calvino. Con una
scelta del poema. Gli struzzi 11. Torino: Einaudi, 1970. (he wrote his
dissertation on the OF so is a logical person to do this, and it is
excellent)
Gerusalemme liberata di Torquato Tasso raccontata da Alfredo Giuliani.
Con una scelta del poema. Gli struzzi 12. Torino: Einaudi, 1970.
Celati, Gianni. L'Orlando innamorato raccontato in prosa. I coralli 13.
Torino: Einaudi, 1994.
The 1974 birthday of Ariosto (b. 1474) must certainly have played a role
in the resurgence of interest in Ariosto in the '70's.
