«Erbario» is Alfredo Cattabiani's essay on the symbolism of plants, published by Rusconi Libri in paperback (242 pages, in Italian).
In the Renaissance garden of an island on the Lake of Etruria, friends evoke nymphs, gods and legends while glossing the local flora. The rose, garlic, poppy, water lily, sunflower or violet become emblems of psychic and natural labyrinths: a symbolic journey in dialogues between fables and verses of ancient and modern poets.
It belongs to the Saggi collection by Rusconi Libri. The original full title was «Erbario: dialoghi sulle piante e i fiori simbolici» (1985).
For readers interested in botany, mythology and symbolism, as well as folklore and popular traditions.
