Italian

"The Arthur of the Italians is far from uniformly an Arthur in Italian, nor does he appear at all in the guise of long verse romances. There is, nonetheless, a wide array of Arthurian prose romances, cantari (short narratives in eight-line stanzas meant for public performance) and Renaissance reprises to explore, as well as an ample presence of Arthurian protagonists, episodes and themes in medieval Italian literature and culture outside of that corpus."
