The stories are told in a country villa outside the city of Florence by ten young noble men and women who are seeking to escape the ravages of the plague. Each of the ten tell one story each day for ten days resulting in the 100 stories of the Decameron. 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. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and humanist, one of the founders of the Renaissance.
