The book by Schizzerotto, Sberleffi di campanile (translatable, more or less, as Parochial Mockeries) offers a possibility for testing and discussing the author's thesis. According to Schizzerotto, the fancy for mockery is a peculiarity of Italian identity, born out of civic micro-identities. The Medieval ages, characterized by strong rivalries among Italian towns, are therefore crucial in the creation of such an identity. This essay runs through the author's thesis, verifying it and offering a few integrative remarks.

Abstract
The book by Schizzerotto, Sberleffi di campanile (translatable, more or less, as Parochial Mockeries) offers a possibility for testing and discussing the author's thesis. According to Schizzerotto, the fancy for mockery is a peculiarity of Italian identity, born out of civic micro-identities. The Medieval ages, characterized by strong rivalries among Italian towns, are therefore crucial in the creation of such an identity. This essay runs through the author's thesis, verifying it and offering a few integrative remarks.
