The Decameron, written by Boccaccio, is set in contemporary Florence within the bustling commercial and artisanal district, particularly the textile industry. In this work, Boccaccio updates and reinterprets one of the highest themes in chivalric literature: "love and death." However, he does so on a different level, delving deeper emotionally, through the insistent and metered sequence of five novellas featuring seven female protagonists from the bourgeois class, even including those from the working class. The heroes become more human, aligning themselves with the most humble readers, thus enabling them to speak in a language that is more immediate and richer in resonance for everyman." (Vittore Branca)
