Ok since I have waaaay too much free time in my hands, I'll ask this question I've had in mind for ages...
What do you know of Italian lit.?
I'm quite surprised to see how many people around the world read Dante, I had no clue it was that popular!
Another surprise was Calvino... Then I remember people mentioning Machiavelli... and Eco, but this was less surprising. Anything else? Petrarca for example? I'd like to be able to give some lessons, but I'm not a good teacher and it's 3 years since I last studied Italian lit. at school, so I don't remember many details, and there's a lot I don't know of course...
So...well...answers, thoughts, ways to get this thread completely off topic? Anything is appreciated
