Talk:The Love for Three Oranges (fairy tale)

Original name
You should put the name in original language, that is "L'amore delle tre melarance" for both Basile and Gozzi. Really, "melarancia" is a Renaissance name for orange, but this obscure word introduces something magic, which is lost in translation.Lele giannoni (talk) 10:33, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Related pious legend in Spain
A 16th Century story from an unknown author, sings about Mary the Virgin walking with his Son Jesus, and arriving to an orangery that a blind man guards, the song says: "The Virgin as she was virgin, took three oranges, the child as he was a child wanted all the oranges..." The song ends with Mary and the child going away, just after they're gone, the blind recovers sight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgrosay (talk • contribs) 14:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
