“Há tanta gente, mais jovem ou mais velha que tu, que vive à espera de experiências extraordinárias - dos livros, das pessoas, das viagens, dos acontecimentos, de tudo o que o amanhã guarda em si. Tu não. Tu já aprendeste que o melhor que se pode esperar é evitar o pior.”
Italo Calvino, Se Numa Noite de Inverno Um Viajante
True!

![Francisco Delicado (1485-1535), Retrato de la Loçana andaluza… [The Portrait of Lozana: The Lusty Andalusian Woman], Venice, 1528.
«The Portrait of Lozana: The Lusty Andalusian Woman (original title in Spanish: Retrato de la Loçana andaluza) is a book written in Venice by the Spanish editor of the Renaissance, Francisco Delicado, in 1528, after he escaped from Rome due to the anti-Spanish sentiment that uprose after the sack of Rome a year earlier. Published anonymously, the book contains a description of the life in Rome’s underworld during the first third of the 16th century. It is considered a book descendant of Celestina (written some thirty years before by Fernando de Rojas) because of the literary scheme, the dialogued novel, and one of the earliest manifestations of the picaresque novel.
One of the most important characteristics in the book is the didactic-satiric line (as well as other books of the picaresque novel, as Lazarillo de Tormes conceived as a strong critic done by the humanists), because it unveils the moral decadence of Rome, and all the characters displayed — from the bishops to the villains — appear surrounded by a world of corruption, prostitution and violence.
The scatological and sexual elements prevail during the narration: there are descriptions of a ménage à trois; an episode in which Rampin gets covered from head to foot in excrement after falling in a latrine; and other uninhibited allusions to the reconstruction of hymen, and procreation. It gives one of the testimonies about syphilis as a plague in the first years of the 16th century.»
