In 24, pp. 31 + (1). Br. ed. Farsa del duca di Ventignano che costitui' di fatto una delle prime pubblicazioni dell'editore fiorentino Adriano Salani. Nel 1866, su quattro titoli pubblicati, ben tre erano operette teatrali, genere allora popolare e apprezzato. Questo testo inauguro' la Collana di farse, monologhi, commedie e vaudevilles che raccogliera' poi 258 titoli e uscira' fino al 1918 (cfr. Franco Angeli, Libri buoni e a buon prezzo, p. 17).
