Summary :
“Trattato de la Vita Sobria” [treatise on the sober life] appeared in November 1558, printed by Grazioso Percacino of Padua. Cornaro followed it up with three other works, which – collected and published by his grandson in 1591 under the general title Discorsi della Vita Sobria [discourses on the sober life] – became a worldwide success. The present work proposes the first complete and corrected edition of Cornaro’s texts, and a review of the history of their birth and their long and fortunate life.**
