Beppo (poem)
Beppo: A Venetian Story is a lengthy poem by Lord Byron, written at Venice in 1817. Beppo marks Byron's first attempt at writing in the Italian ottava rima metre, which encouraged his inclination for satiric digression. In this, it is the precursor to Byron's most famous — and generally considered his best — poem, Don Juan.
