Classic Literature parodies of Topolino

[timo ronkainen]

Hi!

Thanks for the answer.

>the language
>used in those stories by Chendi & Bottaro is sort of a parody of the
>"aulic" Italian

I haven't seen this term "aulic" too often, and to be honest, I don't know 
exactly what it means. I know that Dante was analyzing and studying Italian 
dialects and Latin in order to find a perfect language for poems. Ideal 
language should have four basic features: it must be "eminent, cardinal,  
aulic and courtly." And as there is no such language, it should be created 
by poets and used by them in their literature works. I pressume it must be 
something "noble" and "declamatory". But did they (Chendi & Bottaro) use 
rhymes? (well, with rhymes it wouldn't be prose?)

>Brancaleone movies series, starring the late, great Vittorio

Haven't seen or heard of these. "Surrealistic medieval comedy"? How would 
you describe these films? Montypythonian?
