Basi e bote è l’unico libretto di Arrigo Boito scritto nell’amato «vernacolo venezïan» e dedicato alle maschere tradizionali. Pur noto a lungo per frammenti, i contemporanei ne riconobbero la brillantezza linguistica e degli accostamenti sonori, pregi che la critica moderna ha convalidato. Questa prima edizione condotta con criteri moderni offre una panoramica completa dei materiali a stampa e autografi noti, collocando l’opera legittimamente all’interno del percorso artistico e della poetica boitiani. Il volume rientra nell'Edizione nazionale delle opere di Arrigo Boito.
