The Diary of Juanito Torbellino is a work that introduces Juanito, a character who belongs to the world of children and angels, whose innocent gaze reveals social hypocrisy. Originally, the pedagogy of the time did not favor this book, considering it a promoter of impertinence and indiscipline. Almost a hundred years after its publication, the work invites reflection on how a society immersed in the politically correct could receive a story that challenges conventions. Written by Vamba, pseudonym of Luigi Bertelli, who preferred to work for children, who at least know how to laugh.
