What are the essential books for an italophile?

Pinocchio is shit. It's not a creative book, it's just the author hammering kids over the head with "go to school" and other patronizing. Read Manzoni''s The Betrothed.

Pinocchio is a Freemason allegorical piece of literature. Its author, Carlo Collodi, was a well-known member of the Freemasons and his book intends to showcase the natural path of the Freemason man. From mere materials (wood) to being designed by a Creator (puppet), and only after many perils and obstacles finally reaching enlightenment and turned into a creature of flesh and bone (man). Not to mention the fact that saying lies enlarges his nose, in other words, makes him uglier and more of a puppet, since there's physically more matter, and that Truth is one of the things the Freemasons hold dearest.

Only Italian authors (regarding fiction) I've read are Curzio Malaparte and Giuseppe Tomasi. Kaputt is one of my favourite books and I really don't get how it doesn't get more attention around here. It's right up /lit/'s alley.

Plenty of germanic blood in Italy, even in roman times. This clear cut germano-med divide is a myth.

Same with France and Spain (celts) but fuck France

Women age like bad milk, men age like a fine milk

Tom Cruise is a young looking old man. Most milkmen age like women, Tom Cruise ages like a postman, who delivers wine

Most women age like specialist postmen who deliver milk, also known as milkmen. Tom Cruise ages like a postman who delivers wine, a wineman

It's real. Tom Cruise aged like a fine wine. The lady aged like a milk

Fine wine ages like a 56 year old cheese. Milk ages like a Tom

Tom Cruise looks 35 but is 56. When Tom was 32, he looked older than he does now, even when he played a man of 24. Now that he's 56, he could play a man of 68 who looks not a day over 44

Some cheeses get better with age. A 56 year old fine cheese ages better than a 2 year old regular cheese

28 regular cheeses ageing for 2 years will just about equal the amount of ageing of a fine cheese ageing for 56 years

Tom Cruise is 56 and has aged like a fine wine. Bela Lugosi stopped ageing in 1956, because he died

Tom aged like a fine wine, Cruise aged like a fine cheese

Tom Cruise died, but looks like he hasn't aged a cheese over 56. Milkmen age like woman wine

If a Tom Cruise opens a cheese, he's a master milk. If a woman's lock is opened by wine, she's a shitty cheese.

If Tom Cruise ages like cheese and leaves the station on a train travelling 56 mph, and at the same time Bela Lugosi leaves a milk station travelling in the opposite direction at 44 mph, and both stations are 56 years apart, how long before both trains age like a woman?

Tom Cheese was 56 years old when he first went on a cruise

When Tom Cruise received his first paycheck, the first thing he bought was a 56 year old hot cheese

When Tom was a 56 year old Cheese he aged like a cruise

The quantity of wine divided by how long the cheese takes to age like a fine Tom Cruise equals 56.

Tom Cheese goes cruising to look for milk

And the cheese goes to: Oscar Cruise
