L’eros, il dono, la donna nuda squartata. (Inf. XIII, Dec. V,8 e il Botticelli)

Main Article Content

Giorgio Bertone
Boccaccio’s tale of Nastagio degli Onesti (Dec. V, 8) is compared with If. XIII and with the visualization of the four panels by Botticelli (1483; Lorenzo the Magnificent’s wedding gift), as figurative reading, backwards, by affinity or contrast, of the salient episodes of the story. The entire route is aimed at an unprecedented interpretation: the application of anthropological theory of gift (Marcel Mauss) to the famous tale. Outcome is a new key to read – in opposition to much recent criticism – this and other tales of the Decameron (Federigo degli Alberighi, Cisti the baker).

Paraules clau:

Dante, Boccaccio, Botticelli, Nastagio degli Onesti, dono
