«Il concilio d'amore» is Oskar Panizza's satirical stage play, published by ES in paperback (185 pages, in Italian).
Written in 1894, the play takes place simultaneously in Heaven and in the Rome of Pope Alexander VI. God, aware of the corruption of the Italians and the pontiff, convenes a council to decide the punishment they deserve. It is a theatrical piece of anticlerical satire that scandalized the society of its time.
This 1991 edition belongs to the 'Biblioteca dell'eros' collection (no. 11), edited by Luigi Rustichelli, with a preface by André Breton and a translation by Enrico Filippini.
May appeal to those seeking nineteenth-century European theatre and social satire, as well as historically persecuted titles.
