Nelle novelle investigated ( CLXXXIII , CCI) appears on the fish market stalls at locations where there is no presence of the Sea (Florence, Modena) and this leads us to believe that this precious food was fished mainly along the streams streams, rivers or lakes. It has been shown, for example, that most of the fish consumed in Bologna in the communal period did not come from the sea, but from the marshes of the lowlands.
