Le fragole, poemetto. Venezia, Remondini, 1752. 
(Lastri, p.llO; Niccoli, p,313) 
Davis & Orioli, Cat. 23:106, offer copy of 
the work with imprint: "Bologna, 1752", presum¬ 
ably the 2d ed. given below. Here the author’s 
name is given as "Guerino", tho the Brit. Mas. 
and other authorities call him Giovanni Battis¬ 
ta. Davis & Orioli give him the title "conte", 
and he is sometimes called "P." or "padre". 
Davis & Orioli, l.c., characterize this as 
"A rare poem in ottima rima in praise of the 
strawberry, exceedingly rare", and mention a 
few vignettes showing scenes, as strav/berry 
picking, "the famous Fragolata", etc. 
Re, Diz. Rag. Lib. Agr. 3:11, says the 1st 
canto gives instructions for the cultivation 
of strawberries, while the 2d tells how they 
are gathered and brought to market.
