The Facetious Nights of Straparola, also known as The Nights of Straparola, is a two-volume collection of 75 fairy tales produced by the Italian writer and fairy-tale collector Giovanni Francesco Straparola in the first half of the sixteenth century. The work was first published in Italy under the title Le piacevoli notti ("the pleasant nights"). Straparola was then translated into Spanish in 1583.
