Hey /lit/,
I'm trying to reach a decent level of knowledge of classic Italian literature (recent writers such as Pasolini, Eco, Gadda or Moravia are not to be discussed here). I have to do this in a very short time, therefore I cannot read long poems or novels unless they are really important. I have made a list of what I consider majour works of classic writers short enough to allow me to do so. Do you think this list could be improved in any way, adding (or, if you think some works are not necessary, removing) anything? All reccomendations are welcome. I also wish this list could be of use to anyone who wants to get a bit more into Italian literature and doesn't have a lot of time to read the longest poems (such as the Orlando furioso or the Jerusalem delivered)

When I took Italian in high school we read from the decameron and il Canzionere for Bocaccio and Petrarca. (+ Inferno). I assume pieces of those two works will be covered in the selected poetry and short stories you wrote there. Don't know enough about other authors to give any input, but I appreciate the list because I am interested in improving my Italian reading skills.
