Zoology and zootechnics are fascinating fields that delve into the study of animals and their management. From the picturesque mountains of Madonie in Sicily, where flocks of sheep roam freely, to the bustling sheep farming industry in the region, these disciplines offer a deep understanding of animal behavior and husbandry. In art, we find depictions of shepherds tending to their flock, like Titian's drawing preserved in the Room of Drawings and Prints at the Uffizi Gallery. The portrait of Piero de' Medici from Benozzo Gozzoli's fresco in Palazzo Medici-Riccardi showcases how animals were an integral part of daily life during Renaissance times. Porcelain statuettes collected by Count Segr Sartorio in Trieste portray children and women shepherds, highlighting their role as caretakers. Meanwhile, Neapolitan nativity scenes capture the essence of shepherding with detailed statues created by artists such as Giuseppe Gori and Matteo Bottiglieri. Even Leonardo da Vinci explored animal interactions through his artwork. His drawing depicting a dragon killing a lion reveals his curiosity about nature's dynamics. Through zoology and zootechnics, we gain insights into various aspects: from studying animal behavior patterns to managing livestock for agricultural purposes. These disciplines not only provide valuable knowledge but also celebrate our connection with animals throughout history.
