Hello Mama Lisa:
I just found your wonderful website and am hopeful someone there can help me find the following information…. I have been trying to research this question now for almost three years!
The Story of the Man in The Moon – the Italian version… the character’s name is pronounced something like (AIR-IT-TEY), not sure of the spelling… phonetically something like… Erite, Aeritei, Eretei?
I would love any help you and/or your readers could be in solving this mystery for me…
Thanks, Debra
If anyone can help Debra with the Italian name of the Man in the Moon and/or any other info, please let us know in the comments below. I think it would be fascinating to learn what the Italian legend of the Man on the Moon is all about.
Thanks!
Mama Lisa

Lisa, I couldn’t find anything about this man on the moon (L’uomo della luna). There are a couple of books in Italian with this title but I couldn’t find the name of the character anywhere.
Thanks for the info Monique. Maybe it will help in the search!

My Old World Italian grandmother (from Spinoso) used to tell me stories about a Man in the Moon named Marcofola. I am not sure of the spelling. Like you, I, too, have tried to find out more about it online and have had no luck with my research.
Good luck!
