"Voi cittadini mi chiamaste Ciacco;

per la dannosa colpa de la gola,

come tu vedi, a la pioggia mi fiacco."

—Dante Alighieri. Inferno, VI, 52–54 (1321)

 

"Ye citizens were wont to call me Ciacco;

For the pernicious sin of gluttony,

I, as thou seest, am battered by this rain."

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1867)
