In Piazza Trilussa in Trastevere, not far from Ponte Sisto, there is the monument to Carlo Alberto Salustri, nicknamed Trilussa (1871-1950), another famous poet of Rome for his sonnets.

| Trilussa On the plaque, next his bust , one of his most famous sonnets:  Here the translation: IN THE SHADE While reading the usual newspaper, snuggling in the shade of a haystack I notice a hog, and I say: - see you, pig! - I notice a donkey and I say: - see you, jackass! - Maybe these animals won't understand me, but at least I feel satisfied with the opportunity of saying how things are for real without the fear of landing in jail. |
