The fulesta was a storyteller from Romagna, known for sharing fole (folktales), which are traditional oral tales or stories drawn from either epic-popular repertoire or contemporary settings.[1]. The fulesta was often a wanderer, and in more recent times, a traveling salesman. Alongside the art of storytelling—which took place during harvest festivals, in market squares, and in farm kitchens—they also often practiced trades typical of fairs.

One of the last fulesta was Augusto Baioni, a figure who was revived in the 1990s by Sergio Diotti in the show "Il tempo delle fiabe" (The Time of Fairy Tales)[2] Diotti blended the tradition of the fulesta with that of puppetry, as seen in the puppet show Hey You! (When the Fulesta Met Pulcinella in China), directed by Stefano Giunchi and performed at the Venice Carnival in 2006.[3]

Today, the art of storytelling seems to have definitively shifted to the theater. For instance, since 2008, the Compagnia Arrivano dal Mare! continued this tradition with "The Cycle of the Fulesta, or: The Man Who Tells Fairy Tales."[4]
