Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 24 Bacchanali, which are poetic accounts of the festivities and rituals associated with the cult of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. The author, an Italian poet, wrote these poems between 1722 and 1740, and they were inspired by the Carnival celebrations that took place in Venice at that time. The poems are full of lively descriptions of the costumes, music, and dancing that were part of these festivities, as well as witty and satirical observations on the behavior of the participants. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural life of 18th-century Venice and offers a unique perspective on the role of art and entertainment in shaping the city's identity.
