Bestiari a sineddoche. Gli animali padani di Giuseppe Pederiali e Roberto Barbolini

The genre of the bestiary still proves to be current in the Po Valley environment, where the fantasy-folkloric and autobiographical elements universalize a plot viscerally linked to the land of the plain. In the novels and short stories of Giuseppe Pederiali and Roberto Barbolini, both of Emilian origin, not only the narrative structure, open to the cases of the story well beyond the classic classificatory system, but also the zoological protagonists reflect the synecdotal game that characterizes the contemporary encyclopedia.
