The folk and fairy tales of Rome offer a humorous alternative to the serious themes of myths and legends. These tales include everyday stories, observations on the world, and humorous anecdotes. These tales include tricksters, simpletons, animal tales, food stories, love and marriage, and narratives infused with religion and magic. Classical tales from antiquity and the middle ages reveal the ancient roots of these stories.
