Sapori e saperi irriverenti nelle novelle di Gentile Sermini

Multipurpose space, the figuration of food is revealed, in various literary and pictorial works, a significant meeting point of nature and culture, real and fantastic, medium of multiple artistic projects. During the sec. XV, the thematic and symbolic correlation of food and literary figuration, between Orcagna, Burchiello, Sermini and Pulci, connotes comic languages aimed at the desecration of humanistic utopias and literary stereotypes. Sermini's novels, in the early decades of the fifteenth century, cooperated in the diffusion of irreverent and parodic languages in which anti-normative requests are lodged.
