Previously unpublished and nearly unknown, this Venetian spicciolata written in the 16th century by Andrea Zane is contained in a manuscript in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice. This article publishes this text for the first time, proposing a possible dating of the novella based on the clues at hand, in particular the dedicatory letter at the beginning of the work. The article suggests that the work can be interpreted as an unusual type of beffa [prank, deception], whose peculiar features reveal an important tie with Venice and the Corner family.
