Saggio di ricerche sulla satira contro il villano by Domenico Merlini
"Saggio di ricerche sulla satira contro il villano" by Domenico Merlini is a scholarly study written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the rich tradition of satirical literature targeting the rural class known as "villano" during the medieval period, exploring the socio-economic context and cultural implications of such satire. The author aims to elucidate the origins of this satirical form while examining its connections to significant themes in thebroader panorama of Italian literary history. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of the complex relationships between various social classes in medieval Italy, particularly focusing on the class struggles between rural peasants and urban dwellers. Merlini introduces the topic by discussing the prominent figure of the villano in satirical literature, emphasizing how these individuals were often depicted with disdain by both aristocracy and city folk. He poses critical questions about the reasons for this societal contempt and states his intention to investigate both negative portrayals of the villano as well as the underlying economic tensions that fueled this satire. In doing so, the work not only promises a historical examination but also seeks to shed light on the evolution of social attitudes toward the rural working class.
