"Galateo", a treatise on polite behavior was written by Giovanni Della Casa (1503-56) for the benefit of his nephew, a young Florentine destined for greatness. In the voice of a cranky yet genial old uncle, the author offers the distillation of what he has learned over a lifetime of public service as diplomat and papal nuncio.
