«Allegro ma non troppo» is the satirical essay by Carlo M. Cipolla, published by Crítica in paperback (87 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together two ironic essays. In the first, the author mixes history and satire about pepper and its supposed aphrodisiac power; in the second, the essay titled «Essay on Human Stupidity», he uses statistics and comic reasoning to show how foolishness influences life in society.
The Drakontos collection of Editorial Crítica included this Spanish translation by Maria Pons, published in 1992.
Carlo Maria Cipolla was an Italian economic historian. He was a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
