| | Was Shakespeare Italian ? |
 | | Giovanni Florio left Palermo, having written a libel against the doctrinal findings of the Church, taking refuge with a family in Venice, in the palace built for the commander Otello, who, according to legend, killed his wife Desdemona for jealousy. |
 | | Certainly, a third of his plays, 15 of 37, unwind in Italy and in the Veneto particularly (from Romeo and Juliet to the Two Gentlemen of Verona, from Othello to The Merchant of Venice) but that is not enough to clarify the mystery of an identity a long time uncertain. |
 | | Dunque, Giovanni Florio lasciò Palermo avendo scritto un libello contro le chiusure dottrinali della Chiesa, riparando con la famiglia a Venezia, nel palazzo costruito dal condottiero ser Otello, che secondo una leggenda avrebbe ucciso per gelosia la moglie Desdemona. |
