VAMPA Gian Burrasca's Diary tells the Adventures of Giannino Stoppani, a fictional character nicknamed Gian Burrasca (Hurricane Johnny) for the number of tricks he plays. He is a very incorrigible naughty 8 years old boy who lives in Tuscany with his wealthy parents and three older sisters, at the beginning of the XX century. He receives a diary for his birthday and this spurs him into doing what he does best (naughty things that distress everybody around him) and writes about it, from his very own point of view. He breaks vases, floods his home, "fishes" the only tooth of Uncle Venanzio out of his mouth, paints his Aunt's dog, red, to have him look like a lion... Finally, his parents put him in a boarding school, but even there he continues with his tricks and pranks, and he also leads students’ revolution against the school teachers. The book is by "Vamba", whose real name was Luigi Bertelli. The book was originally published as a series in the “Giornalino della Domenica” in 1907, and in book form in the 1920’s.
