    Annotation:

    Gonzalo de Liaño (d. 1588) was a dwarf and jester of the Spanish king Felipe II but is abilities were much broader as he was also an agent of the king. During the last years of his life, since 1579, he travelled between Spain and Italy. His main duty was to take tare of artistic and valuable objects travelling from one court to the other. We know about his extensive travelling through the letters he wrote to the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, Francesco 1 and Bianca Capello. His letters, an unique evidence of the facetious style, reveal he was not a common agent but a very clever one who used humour, jokes and wit as a mearas of making his way to the members of the ruling class and getting his ends. As a way to show bis facetious abilities some of his letters to the Grand Duchess of Toscana from the Archivio di Stato di Firenze are edited.
