Abstract
The author illustrates an unknown dialogue written in Triestine dialect by Arturo Castiglioni. The text is a description of the symptoms of venereal disease; the last part of the dialogue contains a dissertation about the nature and the origin of venereal diseases, written in Italian. A didactic inclination and a strong attention to every kind of precautionary measure make this unknown dialogue a very interesting text.
