About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1949. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition. Translated from the Italian by Frances Frenaye. Offsetting to endpapers from clippings, else very near fine in handsome very near fine dustwrapper with slight spine-sunning. Humorous stories from Naples, and also the basis for the 1954 Vittorio De Sica film *L'Oro di Napoli*. The film, which had six separate segments, had a necessarily large cast that included Silvana Mangano, Sophia Loren, Totò, Paolo Stoppa, and De Sica himself. Very scarce.
