The Facetious Nights of Straparola
''The Facetious Nights of Straparola'' (1550-1555; Italian: ''Le piacevoli notti''), also known as ''The Nights of Straparola'', is a two-volume collection of 75〔Nancy Canepa. "Straparola, Giovan Francesco (c. 1480–1558)" in ''The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Folktales and Fairy Tales'', 3-volumes, edited by Donald Haase, Greenwood Press, 2008, pages 926-27.〕 stories by Italian author and fairy-tale collector Giovanni Francesco Straparola. Modeled after Boccaccio's ''Decameron'', it is significant as often being called the first European storybook to contain fairy-tales;〔 See page 20. The claim for earliest fairy-tale is still debated, see for example Jan M. Ziolkowski, ''Fairy tales from before fairy tales: the medieval Latin past of wonderful lies'', University of Michigan Press, 2007. Ziolkowski examines Egbert of Liege's Latin beast poem ''Fecunda natis'' (''The Richly Laden Ship'', c. 1022/24), the earliest known version of "Little Red Riding Hood".

==History==
''The Facetious Nights of Straparola'' was first published in Italy between 1550-53〔 under the title ''Le piacevoli notti'' (''"The Pleasant Nights"'') containing 74 stories. In 1555 the stories were published in a single volume in which one of the tales was replaced with two new tales, bringing the total to 75.〔 Straparola was translated into Spanish in 1583. In 1624 it was placed on the Index of Prohibited Books.〔
The work was modeled on Boccaccio's ''Decameron'' with a frame narrative and novellas, but it took an innovative approach by also including folk and fairy tales.〔 In the frame narrative, participants of a party on the island of Murano, near Venice, tell each other stories that vary from bawdy to fantastic.〔Jack Zipes, ''The Great Fairy Tale Tradition: From Straparola and Basile to the Brothers Grimm'', p 841, ISBN 0-393-97636-X〕 The narrators are mostly women, while the men, among whose ranks are included historical men of letters such as Pietro Bembo and Bernardo Cappello, listen.〔 The 74 original tales are told over 13 nights, five tales are told each night except the eighth (six tales) and the thirteenth (thirteen tales).〔 Songs and dances begin each night, and the nights end with a riddle or enigma.〔 The tales include folk and fairy-tales (about 15); Boccaccio-like novellas with themes of trickery and intrigue; and tragic and heroic stories.〔
The 15 fairy tales were influential with later authors, some were the first recorded instances of now-famous stories, like "Puss in Boots".〔 Many of the tales were later collected or retold in Giambattista Basile’s ''The Tale of Tales'' (1634–36) and Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm ''Grimm's Fairy Tales'' (1812–15).〔
