	The Idea of Progress By J.B. Bury- Chapter 6 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut
		Although the great scene of the controversy was France, the question had been expressly raised by an Italian, no less a person than Alessandro Tassoni, the accomplished author of that famous ironical poem, "La Secchia rapita," which caricatured the epic poets of his day.
		Tassoni's Thoughts were translated into French, and the book was probably known to Boisrobert, a dramatist who is chiefly remembered for the part he took in founding the Academie francaise.
		Hakewill, like Tassoni, surveys all the arts and sciences, and concludes that the moderns are equal to the ancients in poetry, and in almost all other things excel them.

	La secchia rapita, poema eroicomico, e'l primo canto dell Oceano. Milan, per Gio. Batt. Bidelli, : TASSONI, ...
		An rare and early edition, the first Milan and the fourth in all, of Tassoni's classic work, the mock-heroic poem ridiculing the 14th century war between Bologna and Modena, first published in 1622 and much reprinted well into the 19th century.
		The immense popularity of the poem can be attributed to Tassoni's then unique employment of irony by mixing fact and fantasy, pathos and vulgarity.
		The title of the poem, The Rape of the Bucket, is a reference to a raid on Bologna in 1325 when the Modenese made off with a bucket as a trophy.

		The invention of it is usually ascribed to Alessandro Tassoni; who, in the year 1622, published at Paris a poem composed by him, in a few months of the year 1611, entitled, La Secchia Rapita, or The Rape of the Bucket.

	American Dante Bibliography for 1966
		Alessandro Tassoni's Postille on the Divine Comedy, never intended for publication, reveal the 16th-century man's extremely critical attitude toward Dante's poem.
		Although he exhibits an accurate knowledge of Provençal and illuminates the linguistic origins of several of Dante's phrases, Tassoni is limited by the climate of the Counter-Reformation and therefore unable to follow the theology basic to an understanding of the poem.
		Professor Arcudi attributes many of Tassoni's criticisms to the incorrectness of the Aldine text he used.

		As in Butler's Hudibras, many of the personal and local allusions in this poem are now very obscure, and are apt to seem somewhat pointless to the general reader, but, in spite of Voltaire's contempt, it cannot be neglected by any systematic student of Italian literature.
		Other characteristic works of Tassoni are his Pensieri Diversi (1612), in which he treats philosophical, literary, historical and scientific questions with unusual freedom, and his Considerazioni sopra il Petrarcha (1609), a piece of criticism showing great independence of traditional views.
