- The Golden Ass (Machiavelli)
"L'asino" (also called "L'asino d'oro"), in English "The Golden Ass", is a satirical poem of eight chapters written by Niccolò Machiavelli in 1517. A modernized version of Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" (rather than a translation of it), it is written in terza rima. It also concerns the theme of metamorphosis, and contains autobiographical, grotesque, and allegorical episodes.
