Marcovaldo, Cosmicomics, Difficult Loves are my favorite. Baron in the Trees too.

I'd definitely suggest starting with these. His short story work is beautiful.

In italian high schools you learn to hate a lot of what you do, just because you're a student and can't be bothered to enjoy an analysis of some themes - then when you're a bit older you start to appreciate what you hated much more

The Baron in the Trees is mentioned so rarely always, but it was one of the most influential books of my youth. A fantastic read.

Invisible Cities is my absolute favorite of his short stories.
