Quando si parla di alimentazione medievale non si può fare a meno di considerare l’incidenza dell’orto e dei suoi prodotti, realtà economica importante e di larghissima presenza, capillarmente diffusa ovunque.
Posto nei pressi della casa di abitazione del colono e della stalla, sempre recintato o comunque chiuso, l’orto rappresentava l’unico tra i terreni coltivati che beneficiava della presenza continua dell’uomo in termini di quantità e qualità di lavoro. Questo ne rendeva massima la fertilità e la produttività, a livelli che non trovano riscontro in aperta campagna where the land is not also subject to a labor intensive, rich fertilizer and a clever combination of crops, but a staple of cultivation in time and space as well as a rough fertilization. Production continues
was the peculiar character of the garden that is never devoid of fruit. This gap between horticulture and agriculture to mitigate only the eighteenth century, thanks to the agricultural revolution that will improve farming techniques, thanks to more efficient sources of fertilizer to a crop rotation and production equipment and machinery for greater efficiency.
But what were the most common plant species in the gardens of the Middle Ages? The reading of the novel shows us the presence of cabbage (XCI , CLXXV ), onions ( XVI) to (LXXII , XCI), broccoli ( LXXII), parsnips (LXXII ), then ( cxlvi ) and cinnamon ( XCI), but certainly the variety of herbs and vegetables had to be manifold: if we consider that some centuries before the Capitulare de Villis 72 plants listed in the third and edible remaining with medicinal properties, it is easy to deduce that the orchards were also planted fennel, spinach, radishes, shallots, carrots, various species of cucurbits (pumpkins, melons, cucumbers) and many others, some use the kitchen only to flavor food.
Returning to the testimony of the bag, it is to point out that the cabbage is the vegetable that, of all people, plays a leading role, in the novel CXLV are on the table by Lando Gobbo, a knight of the people in before being appointed mayor:
"In Florence was, not long ago, a mayor, who, before he entered nell'oficio, became a knight of populist who was named Messer Messer Lando or Landucci by Gobbi; and was so magnanimous that the armor and beard, with which it was made a knight, was given, as of custom, to Messer Dolcibene, which is thus the custom of giving it to a courtier, who, by selling these armatures, N'ebbe money in all forty-two, yes Messer Dolcibene could do very large costs. It is true that there was refreshed by a short time, eating with a mayor of Lent, with the cabbage and the tonnina. Al Messer Dolcibene being sussequenti him at table two side them, seeing them put forward tonnina so that he would have shot the trap, we turn to them and said: - Sir side them, put the glasses will appear to you two times as much.

In this case, the vegetable is eaten in combination with a portion, definitely plenty of tuna, but the meal is considered by Messer Dolcibene inappropriate for the role that it was going to play by Lando Gobbo. The story shows us that even the characters [...]
