Abstract: The link between the equation $b(b+a)-a^2=0$ concerning the side $b$ and the diagonal $a$ of a regular pentagon and the {it Cassini identity} $F_i{F}_{i+2}-F_{i+1}^2=(-1{)}^i$, concerning three consecutive Fibonacci numbers, is very strong. In this paper we present our thesis that the two mentioned equations were "almost simultaneously" discovered by the {it Pythagorean School}.
