Loved this! It’s been playing in my head all day. I sent it to my mother, who also loved it and promptly sent me other stornellatori romani.

I learn so much with your translations, and the footnotes are the best - esp #4! 😆🙌

Thanks Agnes. I grew up with the music of Lando (amongst others) and I love this quirky little number. I certainly didn’t understand the “historical” references as a child, but always loved the Roman dialect.
