About the author

Carlo Alberto Gonin is known from surviving library and public-domain records as the author of L'anatra: Allevamento per la produzione della carne, an Italian work on raising ducks for meat production.

The book presents duck breeding as both a practical and economic subject, covering management, feeding, and the value of careful agricultural methods. Modern catalog and ebook records consistently identify it as a scientific or instructional text in the field of farming and aviculture.

Reliable biographical details about Gonin himself are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him as an Italian agricultural writer or specialist whose reputation today rests on this practical manual.
