Mastr'Impicca by Vittorio Imbriani
"Mastr'Impicca" by Vittorio Imbriani is a satirical fairy tale written in 1874. When Princess Rosmunda is kidnapped by three grotesque neighboring kings during a hunting trip, the young officer Sennacheribbo Esposito rushes to rescue her. After hanging the royal criminals, he faces imprisonment for his actions, sparking a memorable trial that tests justice against protocol. Imbriani transforms traditional fairy tale structure into biting social commentary on Italian institutions and political incompetence. (This
