	Giambattista Basile
		Basile was born in a village outside of Naples and grew up in a middle-class family, which insured that he acquired an excellent education for the time.
		Basile's work may also owe something to Straparola; there is no clear evidence that he had read his predecessor (though the association of both men with Venice might suggest the likelihood of such exposure) but he certainly was familiar with Straparola's tales in some form.
		One of Basile's contributions to the development of fairy tales was the use of lower-class narrators, which is consistent with the common (though perhaps erroneous) conception of where these tales come from.

		Giambattista Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti overo Lo trattenemiento de peccerille [The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for the Little Ones], first published in 1634-46, is a collection of forty-nine fairy tales contained by a frame, also a fairy tale.
		Basile was a court intellectual and academician, and the audience for Lo cunto probably consisted of members of the provincial courts near Naples at which Basile served, where excerpts from it were read aloud as part of after-dinner fun and games.
		Basile's mention of an audience of "little ones" is, I believe, an oblique and ironic acknowledgment of the "newness" of his project, a sort of metatextual framing device for some of the central concerns of Lo cunto.

	Giambattista Basile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Basile came from a middle-class Neapolitan family; as an adult he became a courtier and a soldier under various Italian princes, rising by the time of his death to the rank of “count.”
		Although he wrote other things, his most lasting work was Lo cunto de li cunti overo lo trattenemiento de peccerille (The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones), also called Il Pentamerone (1634-36), which “can lay claim to being the foundation stone of the modern literary fairy tale” (Warner 148).
		Basile's tales are more sophisticated than later fairy tales, and also reflect more adult concerns — more similar to the work of Boccaccio (which it resembles structurally) and Chaucer than of Perrault and the Grimms.

	Giambattista Basile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He recorded and adapted the tales, believed to have been orally transmitted around Crete and Venice, several of which were also later adapted by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, the latter making extensive, acknowledged use of Basile's collection.
		Examples of this are versions of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, and Hansel and Gretel.
		A further English translation was made from Croce's version by Norman N Penzer in 1934.

		A scholar of 16th and 17th century Italian literature, Canepa recently won the prestigious Howard R. Marraro Prize from the Modern Language Association for her book From Court to Forest: Giambattista Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti and the Birth of the Literary Fairy Tale.
		Canepa's interest in the time period led her to write her doctoral dissertation on Giambattista Basile, the author who set the foundation for modern fairy tales.
		She currently is working on two major translation projects: the 200-page 19th-century novel Pinocchio and Basile's Tale of Tales.

		I am currently working on an unabridged English translation of Giambattista Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti, or The Tale of Tales (1634-36).
		Second, I'd like to view this tale as a sounding ground for a number of the questions that are at the heart of The Tale of Tales, which involve how Basile revisits fairy-tale form and content and how his highly original rhetorical strategies become an integral part of this process.

		The first European printing of a Cinderella story was Giambattista Basile's Il Penatamerone, published between 1624 and 1636.
		Written in a Neapolitan dialect that kept it out of the northern European tradition for two centuries, Basile's Cinderella (here named Zezolla) is convinced by her governess to murder her cruel stepmother.
		The governess marries the father and all goes well until the governess promotes her hitherto hidden daughters at Zezolla's expense and Zezolla becomes little more than a scullery maid.
