In Luigi Meneghello's work, the representation of the plant world refers to a subtext of images and symbols: a network of botanical isotopies which transforms into a system while allowing for an alternative and unprecedented reading. From the pages of Libera nos a malo (1963), up to the 'posthumous letters' of L'appendistato (2012), what the author calls «inframondo verdastro» becomes the starting point for the restoration of a literary biosphere, one which is constantly crossed by a double movement: intertextual memory and continuous interaction between Italian, English and the dialect from Vicenza (Italy). Meneghello's 'reflected garden' thus reveals itself in all its semantic value, and sheds light on a theme of surprisingly great complexity, and also a subject of particular interest for literary ecocriticism.

In Luigi Meneghello's work, literary representations of the mineral world play a deconstructive role, in that they authorize unprecedented and transversal readings aimed at unlocking the writer's material and scientific imagery. Meneghello quite literally seems to have 'stratified' his creative work through using this imagery, from the lithogenesis of writing to the semantics of the crystal, petrifying reveries, and the effusive magma of language. The líthos is used as a 'probe', a hermeneutic sounding device through which to investigate cultural systems, the sedimentation of collective memory, and the role of writing itself, and it functions as a privileged access key to the author's poetics.

Between Luigi Meneghello's writing and the natural world there is an implicit yet profound bound, destined to reverberate in the folds of the text, giving rise to unprecedented and transversal readings. And eco-criticism, in this case, far from being but a privileged starting point, it also takes on the task of reflecting more deeply on what, on balance, are the salient features of the eco-writer Meneghello: from th environmental emergency, to the semantics of places; from the conception of the text as an 'ecosystem', to stories about things and matter; and then, the second part of the volume deals with the story of the animal kingdom, aimed at redefining the value structure of theHomo sapiens and its place in this narrated biosphere.

Tra la scrittura di Luigi Meneghello e il mondo naturale sussiste un legame implicito eppur profondo, destinato a riverberarsi in quelle che sono le pieghe del testo, sollecitando letture inedite e trasversali. E l'ecocritica, in tal caso, diviene non solo un punto di partenza privilegiato, ma si assume il compito di riflettere più a fondo su quelli che, a conti fatti, divengono i tratti salienti del Meneghello eco-scrittore: dall'emergenza ambientale, alla semantica dei luoghi; dalla concezione del testo quale 'ecosistema', alle storie sulle cose e sulla materia; per poi approdare, nella seconda parte del volume, al racconto sul regno animale, teso a ridefinire l'assetto valoriale dell'Homo sapiens e il suo posto in questa biosfera narrata.
