Abstract
Giovanna Angeli, professor at the University of Florence, has not only followed the literary fortunes of the chatelaine de Vergy, from the 13th-century French nouvelle to the Italian cantare, Boccaccio, Marguerite de Navarre, Bandello and beyond, right up to the point where her story merges with that of the châtelain de Coucy. She has demonstrated the full potential of the magnificent, enigmatic frescoes that trace her story on the walls of a Florence palace ("Italian and French rereadings of La Châtelaine de Vergy ").
