Specialist Notes
The ideal continuation of the illustrated satirical newspaper of enormous success in the Risorgimento "Il Don Pirlone" which ended its publications on 2 July 1849, with the fall of the Roman Republic, is a prestigious and passionate work of political satire. Harsh, biting and polemical images play a decisive role in highlighting and enhancing the text. In defense of the republican experience, between cultured references and popular diffusion, the three volumes offer a scathing narration of the historical events not only in Rome but in Italy and Europe.
