should take turns to tell a little story and by the end of the
ten-day quarantine 100 little stories were told.
In fact, the name Decameron comes from Greek and es-
sentially means "ten days' work", but here ends the simi-
larity, as the hundred stories of the Decameron are all fan-
tastic stories that have nothing to do with the plague that
was raging in Florence at the time.
The Author of the Modern Decameron on the other hand-
focuses all her narratives on the Coronavirus, tells made-
up moving stories, realistic stories that could very well be
mistaken for events that actually happened; and two of her
stories did in fact occur. These stories, written in a simple
and lively way, are permeated with ethics, morality, gener-
osity, love and altruism and their reading is recommended
for all ages.
Available in Italian and English edition.
