Story
The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

Story
Composed in the early 1350s, in the wake of the Black Death, The Decameron comprises 100 short stories from all over the world, reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing merchant classes of Renaissance Italy. Their universal themes—love, sex, religion, fate, morality—resonate with us to this day, and their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern. Monty Python star and medieval historian Terry Jones presents ten BBC Radio dramatisations of tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's humane and comic masterpiece

Story
Firenze, 1348. La peste nera infuria, e un gruppo di giovani sta cercando di fuggire da essa. Alla ricerca di un rifugio sicuro, si ritrovano in campagna. Nell'arco di dieci giorni, per passare il tempo, si raccontano un centinaio di storie fantastiche, tristi ed elaborate. Un ricco arazzo di tragedia e commedia, di farsa e di erotismo, "Il Decameron" è un capolavoro della prosa italiana. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) è stato uno studioso, uno scrittore e un poeta italiano.

Story
Ciappelletto es una de las novelas cortas de El Decamerón de Giovanni Boccaccio. Cuenta la historia de Ciappelletto, un hombre engañoso e inmoral. En su lecho de muerte, convence a un fraile para que le dé un relato falso de su virtuosa vida. Esta narrativa explora el tema de la hipocresía y la corrupción dentro del clero. La naturaleza engañosa de Ciappelletto desafía las nociones tradicionales de piedad, y Boccaccio utiliza la sátira para criticar las normas sociales. El cuento es un comentario sobre las ambigüedades morales y éticas de la época.
