 If you good folks like coming to the theater, I'll keep making songs: I don't need anything else; if you don't like them, I'll put them in the drawer and return to the hammock to enjoy my nice little dreams.

 Great Nanni Svampa, capable of making us smile by putting our little weaknesses into poetry and irony, a Trilussa of the North who wrote them but then also sang them.
