L'anatra: Allevamento per la produzione della carne
by Carlo Alberto Gonin
About the author
Carlo Alberto Gonin is an Italian author remembered today for L'anatra: Allevamento per la produzione della carne, a manual on raising ducks for meat production. The book is preserved by Project Gutenberg and listed by The Online Books Page, which makes him visible mainly through this surviving agricultural text.
From the work itself and its catalog descriptions, Gonin comes across as a practical specialist writer rather than a literary figure. His book explains breeding, feeding, management, and the commercial possibilities of duck farming, with an emphasis on helping farmers improve results through more informed methods.
Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him as an early-20th-century Italian author of agricultural nonfiction whose known legacy centers on this focused and useful handbook.
