Much has been said and written \u2013 albeit not always \u00e0 propos \u2013 about their symbolic meaning and origin. Here the author, who teaches History of Philosophy at the Scuola Normale in Pisa, undertakes an exciting symbolic and literary journey through this unusual \u201cbestiary\u201d, tracing its development from the beginnings to the present day. The book is full of curious anecdotes and surprising references, and enlivened by a series of remarkable illustrations by Duilio Cambellotti, an outstanding early 20th-century Italian artist. Indispensable and stimulating reading for all those who have experienced \u2013 even if only once in their lifetime \u2013 the excitement of the Palio."}
