Cecco Angiolieri, the enfant terrible of Italian literature, loved
women, gambling, food and wine. It is said that he found comfort
for his bad luck at the dice and with Becchina, his unreciprocating
lover, only by pouring venomous scorn upon his miserly parents.
Cecco’s outbursts of rage against his fate and his earthly view
of the world – poles apart from the Stil Novo of Cavalcanti and
Dante, the target of some of his fiercest sonnets – are perfectly
encapsulated in his poetry, which is presented here with the facing
Italian text in the witty verse translation of C.H. Scott and
Anthony Mortimer.
