This paper focuses on the influence exerted by the 'Corbaccio' on the criteria for the representation of the world and men in 'Eyes shut' by Federigo Tozzi. Particularly, the possible derivation of the novel’s title from a passage of the dedication to young people at the conclusion of Boccaccio’s treatise is highlighted. The findings provide a further contribution to the definition of the medieval culture of Tozzi and they raise, together with other clues, some perplexities regarding family testimonies related to the time and manner when the novel was written.
Il contributo intende analizzare l’influenza esercitata dal 'Corbaccio' sui singolari criteri di rappresentazione del mondo e degli uomini in 'Con gli occhi chiusi' di Federigo Tozzi. In particolare, si evidenzia la possibile derivazione del titolo del romanzo da un passo della dedica ai giovani con cui si conclude il trattato boccacciano. I riscontri individuati forniscono un ulteriore contributo alla definizione della cultura medievale di Tozzi e sollevano, contestualmente ad altri indizi, alcune perplessità intorno ai tempi e ai modi della stesura del romanzo secondo le testimonianze familiari.
