Meaning and background
The story behind Brunello
Brunello is an Italian diminutive of Bruno with a literary history of its own. A character bearing the name appears in the Renaissance Orlando poems of Boiardo and Ariosto, where he is a thief. The reference establishes a cultural association, not a character trait of a dog. Because Bruno itself has more than one proposed Germanic root, Brunello should not be given one certain ancient translation.
