    History of Decameron
    • Decameron, collection of tales by Giovanni Boccaccio, probably
    composed between 1349 and 1353. ... The Decameron comprises a group
    of stories united by a frame story. As the frame narrative opens, 10 young
    people (seven women and three men) flee plague-stricken Florence to a
    delightful villa in nearby Fiesole.
    • Each rules for a day and sets stipulations for the daily tales to be told by all
    participants, resulting in a collection of 100 pieces. Each day ends with a
    canzone (song), and some of these represent Boccaccio’s finest poetry.

    The Plague

    C oming out of the East, the Black Death reached the shores of Italy in the spring of 1348 unleashing a rampage of death across Europe
    unprecedented in recorded history. By the time the epidemic played itself out three years later, anywhere between 25% and 50% of
    Europe's population had fallen victim to the pestilence.

    The plague presented itself in three interrelated forms. The bubonic variant (the most common) derives its name from the swellings or
    buboes that appeared on a victim's neck, armpits or groin. These tumors could range in size from that of an egg to that of an apple.

    Infected fleas that attached themselves to rats and then to humans spread this bubonic type of the plague. A second variation -
    pneumonic plague - attacked the respiratory system and was spread by merely breathing the exhaled air of a victim.

    It was much more virulent than its bubonic cousin - life expectancy was measured in one or two days. Finally, the septicemic version of
    the disease attacked the blood system.

    The Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio lived through the plague as it ravaged the city of Florence in 1348. The experience inspired him to
    write The Decameron, a story of seven men and three women who escape the disease by fleeing to a villa outside the city. In his
    introduction to the fictional portion of his book, Boccaccio gives a graphic description of the effects of the epidemic on his city.
