The film was also re-released in 1954, with a written prologue added before the opening credits, advising that gangsters such as Tom Powers and Caesar " Rico " Bandello, the title character in Little Caesar ( played by Edward G. Robinson ), are a menace that the public must confront.

Bandello ’ s novellas are thought the best of those written in imitation of the Decameron, though Italian critics find fault with them for negligence and inelegance of style .< Ref name =" EB "/>

The title page of his Tragical Tales ( 1587 ), which are translations from Boccaccio and Bandello, says that the book was written at the time of the author's troubles.

An acclaimed performance as the gangster Caesar Enrico " Rico " Bandello in Little Caesar ( 1931 ) led to him being typecast as a " tough guy " for much of his early career in works such as Five Star Final ( 1931 ), Smart Money ( 1931 ; his only movie with James Cagney ), Tiger Shark ( 1932 ), Kid Galahad ( 1937 ) with Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart, and A Slight Case of Murder.

The possibility that Shakespeare may have used the Gesta, Bandello and / or Painter is strengthened by the fact that he definitely consulted all three sources later in his career ; the Gesta provided some of the details for King Lear, Bandello was the primary source for Twelfth Night, and Painter was used during the composition of All's Well That Ends Well.

The decisive Battle of Pavia, as a result of which Lombardy was taken by the emperor, compelled Bandello to flee ; his house at Milan was burnt and his property confiscated.

The stories on which William Shakespeare based several of his plays ( Much Ado about Nothing, Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night in particular )< Ref name =" SHEMEK "/> were supplied by Bandello, probably through Belleforest and Pierre Boaistuau whose stories were later translated into English by William Paynter and included in his The Palace of Pleasure.

The only translation of Bandello's tales is " The novels of Matteo Bandello ", translated by John Payne in 6 volumes, 1890.

These three stories, plus another later version by Matteo Bandello and the English translation by Arthur Brooke in the poem Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet ( 1562 ) appear to be the sources for Shakespeare's famous play Romeo and Juliet.

It is, however, founded on the tale of Nicuola and Lattantio as told by Matteo Bandello.

The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion, with plot elements drawn from the short story " Of Apollonius and Silla " by Barnabe Rich, based on a story by Matteo Bandello.

The source story, " Of Apolonius and Silla ", appeared in Barnabe Riche's collection, Riche his Farewell to Militarie Profession conteining verie pleasaunt discourses fit for a peaceable tyme ( 1581 ), which in turn is derived from a story by Matteo Bandello.

The French reading public was also fascinated by the dark tragic novellas (“ histoires tragiques ”) of Bandello which were avidly adapted and emulated into the beginning of the seventeenth century ( Jacques Yver, Vérité Habanc, Bénigne Poissenot, François de Rosset, Jean-Pierre Camus ).

His most successful work was most likely his translation and adaptation of the " histoires tragiques " by the Italian Matteo Bandello, which built on the work of Pierre Boaistuau and eventually amounted to seven volumes ( 1564-1582 ).

William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing takes one of its plots ( Hero / Claudio / Don John ) from Orlando Furioso ( probably via Spenser or Bandello ).

Rosmunda, the only one that could be of his own contrivance, and which is certainly the least happy effusion of his genius, is partly founded on the eighteenth novel of the third part of Bandello and partly on Prevost's Memoires d ' un homme de qualite.

At the end of the 16th century, some of the most popular short stories in Europe were the darkly tragic " novella " of Matteo Bandello ( especially in their French translation ).

The vast majority of the stories derive from those Bandello heard from contemporaries, reported as real life events.

They include: Letters from a Lady of Quality ( translation of Edme Boursault's play ) ( 1721 ); La Belle Assemblée ( 1724 ) ( translation of Madame de Gomez ’ s novella ); The Lady ’ s Philosopher's Stone ( 1723 ) ( translation of Louis Adrien Duperron de Castera ’ s historical novel ); Love in its Variety ( 1727 ) ( translation of Matteo Bandello ’ s stories ); The Disguis'd Prince ( 1728 ) ( translation of Madame de Villedieu ’ s 1679 novel ); The Virtuous Villager ( 1742 ) ( translation of Charles de Fieux's work ); and ( with William Hatchett ) The Sopha ( 1743 ) ( translation of Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon's novel ).

One explanation is that he had alienated certain of his superiors, particularly fra Vincenzo Bandelli, or Bandello, a professor at the studium and future master general of the Dominicans, who resented the young friar ’ s opposition to modifying the Order ’ s rules against the ownership of property.

Among the prose works of Cinthio is the Hecatommithi or Ecatomiti, a collection of tales told somewhat after the manner of Boccaccio, but still more closely resembling the novels of Cinthio's contemporary, Matteo Bandello.

Of the novelists of the 16th century, the two most important were Grazzini, and Matteo Bandello ; the former as playful and bizarre as the latter is grave and solemn.

Though ostensibly a translation from the Italian of Bandello, Brooke's poem is a free paraphrase.

Meanwhile, the tradition of the dark tale — coming from the tragic short story ( histoire tragique ) associated with Bandello, and frequently ending in suicide or murder — continued in the works of Jean-Pierre Camus and François de Rosset.

Immediately after this allusion to the promise of Indians, Bernal writes, " And as three years had already passed [...] and we haven't done a single thing worth the telling, the 110 Spaniards who came from Darién and those who in the island of Cuba do not have Indians " — again an allusion to the lack of Indians — they decided to join up with " an hidalgo title of nobility or gentry, derived from hijo de algo, " son of someone " known as Francisco Hernández de Córdoba [...] and that he was a rich man who had a village of Indians on this island ", who had accepted to be their captain " to go on our venture to discover new lands and in them to employ ourselves ".

The only man alive who seems qualified by his learning, his disposition and his addiction to a baroque luxuriance of language to inherit the literary mantle of Sacheverell Sitwell, Mr. Sansom writes of foreign parts with a dedication to decoration worthy of a pastry chef creating a wedding cake for the marriage of a Hungarian beauty ( her third ) and an American multimillionaire ( his fourth ).
