De 'Medici, whose "black" stories, written in the 20s, were inspired by both the psychological horror of Edgar Allan Poe and Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, both from the French decadentist vein. Here we analyze the stories of him contained in the anthology "The cemetery mice", recently reprinted by the types of Cliquot Edizioni.
