Digitalian Folktales

Digitalian Folktales is the final project of the course Digital Scholarly Editing at University of Bologna. It is a tool that aims to be a critical edition of Calvino's Fiabe Italiane, a collection of different regional folktales. It allows to compare stories with the original, dialectal version, as well as to visualize a computational analysis of the language used.
