Summary "I Tre Giulj" by Giovanni Battista Casti is a collection of humorous sonnets written in the late 18th century. This work reflects on the author's experiences with the persistent demands of a creditor for the repayment of a small debt—a theme that resonates with the struggles of financial obligation and social interaction. The sonnets creatively blend personal anecdotes with broader philosophical musings, capturing both the frustrations and irony of indebtedness. The opening of "I Tre Giulj" sets the stage for a witty exploration of the author's plight as he grapples with the relentless requests from a friend named Crisofilo for three Giulj he has borrowed. Casti's tone is both playful and reflective, using the creditor as a catalyst for a series of poetic expressions that delve into the nature of debt, the human experience of burden, and the various ways people cope with such pressures. Through humorous comparisons and clever insights, the author engages the reader in a dialogue about financial woes, reflecting a deep connection to common struggles with humor and elegance.
