This study investigates the relationship between text and biosphere in the works of the Italian writer Luigi Meneghello (1922-2007), framing it within the context of his overall literary production. Starting from this analysis, the author"s ecological view stands up in a triple aspect: the "text" as "ecosystem", characterized by an organicistic view of the writing process; the ecological crisis and pollution, resulting in a development of environmental ethic; ecology of things, according to the perspective of the Material Ecocriticism. The essay also looks at the animals presences in Meneghello?s works, raising the possibility of a criticism of anthropocentric view.
