A reading of the Trecentonovelle aimed at capturing the text's zoological presences reveals rich insights and information that can help better define the eclectic culture of an intellectual [Franco Sacchetti] whose education has not yet been systematically explored. The conspicuous presence of animals in the collection of short stories has already been noted by critics, who have emphasized the innovative use Sacchetti seems to make of zoological material... An analysis of zoological occurrences, however, can be useful not only to highlight the realistic texture of the text, but also to reveal new and unexpected literary and cultural threads, providing a significant contribution to the reconstruction of our author's "mental library." - [Author]
