This two-volume set collects 300 of the most entertaining and important folk and fairy tales of Giuseppe Pitré, a nineteenth century Sicilian folklorist whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitré’s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitré’s tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the tales.

L’origine della contrapposizione tra architettura e decorazione nasce dalla definizione di ornamento come parte accessoria, secondaria. L’arte dell’Italia meridionale viene etichettata come meramente decorativa, quindi limitata perché priva dell’elemento «strutturale». Questo volume attraversa cinque secoli di tradizione visiva siciliana per documentare, invece, la tendenza a integrare spazio, architettura e decorazione. I casi studio qui analizzati – dal tardogotico al Novecento – dimostrano come forma architettonica e decoro convivano, divenendo una caratteristica identificativa dell’arte siciliana.
