Abstract	:	''A Defense of Honesty in the Land of Corruption'' is a translation of ''Apologo sull'onestà nel paese dei corrotti'', by Italo Calvino, published in ''La Repubblica'', March 15, 1980, and republished in ''Romanzi e racconti, volume terzo, Racconti e apologhi sparsi'', Meridiani, Mondadori, 2005. Composed in the affabulatory but essential style of his collection of traditional Italian fables, the piece presents in few words a stark portrait of contemporary Italy, where every good citizen proceeds with clear conscience and high moral certainty to pocket illicit gains and defraud the state.
