- Il_Galateo abstract "Galateo: The Rules of Polite Behavior (Il Galateo, overo de 'costume) by Florentine Giovanni Della Casa (1503–56) was published in Venice in 1558. A lively guide to what one should do and avoid in ordinary social life, this influential courtesy book of the Renaissance explores subjects such as dress, table manners, and conversation. It became so popular that the title, which refers to the name of one of the author’s distinguished friends, entered into the Italian language. To “not know the Galateo” means to be impolite, crude, and awkward in polite society.Della Casa directs his attention to an indefinite world of gentleman citizens who wish to convey a winning and attractive image. With a casual style and dry humor, he writes about everyday concerns, from posture to telling jokes to table manners. “Our manners are attractive when we regard others’ pleasure and not our own delight,” Della Casa writes.Unlike Baldassare Castiglione’s The Book of the Courtier, the rules of polite behavior in Galateo are not directed to ideal men in a Renaissance court. Instead, Della Casa observes the ordinary habits of people who do not realize that clipping one’s nails in public is bad. “One should not annoy others with such stuff as dreams, especially since most dreams are by and large idiotic,” we are advised.Della Casa never lived to see his manuscript’s immediate, international and lasting success. It was translated into French (1562), English (1576), Latin (1580), Spanish (1585), and German (1587), and has been read and studied in every generation. Della Casa's work set the foundation for modern etiquette writers and authorities on manners, such as “Miss Manners” Judith Martin, Amy Vanderbilt, and Emily Post.Valentina D’Urso, Professor of Psychology and author of Le Buone Maniere, writes, “The founding father of this literarary genre, [Galateo] is an extroardinary read, lively and passionate. One doesn’t know whether to admire more it’s rich style or the wisdom of the practical words of advice.”".
