The "Decameron" is a collection of 100 tales written by the Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio in the 14th century. Set during the Black Death in Florence, it follows a group of ten young people who retreat to a countryside villa to escape the plague, each telling a story for ten days. The work explores themes of love, human behavior, and the complexities of life, blending humor with serious reflections on society. It is considered a seminal work of Italian literature and a precursor to the modern novel.
