Background

Quadratino was published by the children magazine Il Corriere dei Piccoli from 1910 to 1911.[1] An early version of the character had previously appeared in 1909, in the same magazine, in the story La tragica istoria del triangolo e del quadrato.[1]

It depicts the surreal stories of the naughty Quadratino ("Little Square"), her grandmother Nonna Matematica ("Grandma Maths") and the tutor Trigonometria ("Trigonometry"); in every episode the title character is punished for his bad behaviour with the transformation of his head in a rectangle, a triangle or in another geometric shape; at the end of the story, after he understood his faults, the head returns to normal.[2][3]

gollark: Minoteaur has tables too!
gollark: It would probably be awful somehow still.
gollark: Maybe this should just be deprecated in favour of ABR-EB.
gollark: How exciting.
