XII conti pomiglianesi / con varianti avellinesi, montellesi, bagnolesi, milanesi, toscane, ecc.

This collection gathers a dozen popular tales from Pomigliano d'Arco presented alongside regional variants from Avellino, Montella, Bagnoli and others, with explanatory notes and a prefatory essay situating the traditions. Narratives range from fairy-tale transformations and trickster episodes to local legends and comic anecdotes, often rendered in dialect and contrasted with literary analogues. Many entries include multiple versions, fragmentary sources, and cross-references to earlier folktale texts, enabling comparison of motifs and language. The editor supplements the material with annotations, variant lists, and occasional literary excerpts, creating a scholarly yet accessible compilation of southern Italian oral storytelling.
