قصة الكتاب :
The essay highlights the uniqueness of Gherardi, who, unlike all the other post-Boccaccian narrators, overturns the Decameronian structure in the Paradiso degli Alberti, enormously expanding the frame and drastically reducing the short stories to the small number of nine. rnGherardi - head of the traditionalist cultural movement, linked to the cult of the \"three crowns\" and scholastic philosophy - writes to ennoble the vulgar, in a transparent anti-humanistic operation, and inserts Latinisms, superlatives, hypochoristics and hendecasyllable verses into his refined prose in an attempt to amaze and confuse the reader, transferring him to the sumptuous and golden late Gothic overworld, represented by the sumptuous villa of Antonio degli Alberti with its wonderful garden. Aimed at the Florentine high-bourgeois public, his novel is the most emblematic example of Italian late Gothic literature.rn
