Prendendo le mosse dalla “selva oscura” e proseguendo nell’analisi di altre tipologie di selve proposte da Dante, il saggio evidenzia la sensibilità e il profondo rispetto del Poeta fiorentino per la natura nell’ambito di una ideale selva che si fa punto focale della sua teoria botanica. In particolare viene posto l’accento sul contesto letterario, storico e “scientifico” di piante boschive come la quercia, il cerro, il pino, l’abete, il tiglio, il leccio, il salice, il platano, l’acero, il sicomoro e tante altre, che si sarebbero potute incontrare in essa, senza tralasciare il sottobosco con l’erba e il prato, il giardino e l’orto, strettamente legati ad una ipotetica idea “ecologica”. [Abstract translated by DeepL.com/Translator: This is the abstract in English… Taking the "dark forest" as its starting point and going on to analyze other types of woodlands proposed by Dante, the essay highlights the Florentine Poet's sensitivity and deep respect for nature in the context of an ideal forest that becomes the focal point of his botanical theory. In particular, emphasis is placed on the literary, historical and "scientific" context of woodland plants such as oak, turkey oak, pine, fir, linden, holm oak, willow, sycamore, maple and many others, which could have been encountered in it, without neglecting the undergrowth with grass and meadow, garden and kitchen garden, closely related to a hypothetical "ecological" idea.]
