Cheese and worms

One of the best historical books ever, in which the author tells the story of the Furlan miller Menochio, whose views brought him into conflict with the Inquisition. Menochio's authentic testimony before the tribunal became the basis for the author's plastic and colourful depiction of everyday life at the end of the 16th century, including the anxieties, joys or, on the contrary, the creation of distinctive ideas about God, the universe and the afterlife.
