Best Answer

The Decameron (Ten Days), subtitled Prencipe Galeotto, is a collection of one hundred tales describing stories related by a group of ten thoroughly bored young people from Florence who are taking refuge for ten nights in a villa outside the walls of Florence while the Black Death (Bubonic Plague) ravages the city. This highly entertaining book was written by Giovanni Boccaccio, begun about 1350 and published in 1353. I hope this is the Decameron about which you are asking.
The Italian author "Giovanni Boccaccio" in the 14th century wrote a collection of novellas mainly on romane.
