This first Italian edition was published just two weeks after the true first in French. The publisher, Coconino Press – Fandango, had previously published all the Italian versions of Larcenet’s works.
As far as I could determine, the text and plates are identical to those in the French edition.
REPRINT: due to the strong demand, the publisher issued a second printing just a week later, adding another 5,000 copies. This reprint is identified by “Prima ristampa” and “Finito di stampare nel mese di aprile 2024” on the copyright page.
