Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of a devastating pandemic, seven women and three men withdraw to a country estate outside Florence to give themselves a diversion from the death around them. Once there, they decide to spend some time each day telling stories, each of the ten to tell one story each day. They do this for ten days, with a few other days of rest in between, resulting in the 100 stories of the Decameron. The Decameron was written after the Black Plague spread through Italy in 1348. Most of the tales did not originate with Boccaccio; some of them were centuries old already in his time, but Boccaccio imbued them all with his distinctive style. The stories run the gamut from tragedy to comedy, from lewd to inspiring, and sometimes all of those at once. They also provide a detailed picture of daily life in fourteenth-century Italy.

Alcuni, sull'au torità. Di un epitaffio dettato al Boccaccio stesso, opinano che 'sia nato in Certaldo; altri'interpretando alcune frasi sparse qua e la nelle varie sue opere credono che abbia avuto nascimento in Firenze. Ora però sembra che la maggior parte degli scrit tori vadano con ragione d'accordo nell' afiermare che vide la luce nella 'metropoli francese. Suo padre Boccaccio di Chel lino, mercatante stabilito in Firenze, per afi'ari di commercio trovandosi in Parigi, innamorò di una giovane, dalla quale ebbe Giovanni, senza essere con lei vincolato dal matrimonio. 0 sia che quelia giovane morisse presto, o sia che il padre di Giovanni fosse dipoi pentito di essersi implicato in quel l'amore, ci pare che non l'abbia sposata mai, nè si conservò notizia alcuna intorno al casato di lei.
