Selezione di sonetti di Giorgio Alvise Baffo nato a Venezia l'11 agosto 1694 e quivi morto il 30 luglio 1768. Ultimo erede maschio della famiglia, di antico patriziato, è considerato un genio assoluto della poesia erotica in lingua veneziana. Autore di oltre mille e duecento poesie scritte su fogli volanti a diffusione estemporanea e cittadina, non volle mai pubblicarle in vita. Circa settecento furono raccolte in volume in un'edizione postuma, nel 1771, fintamente edita nell'immaginaria città di Cosmopoli per evitare problemi di censura.
