Giovanni Boccaccio fu accusato a più riprese di immoralità per aver scritto il Decamerone (tra il 1348 e il 1353),
Seppur scomodo, il Decamerone è un libro che ci offre uno spaccato sulla vita e l'umanità di quei tempi. Un testo autentico, fra i documenti più importanti che abbiamo della letteratura medievale.
In questi giorni di coronavirus, una storica e famosa università italiana, la Scuola Superiore Normale di Pisa, ha iniziato la lettura condivisa del Decamerone.
Nel video seguenti trovi una breve introduzione al Decamerone e due novelle famose, Calandrino e l'elitropia, e Federigo degli Alberighi.
Buon ascolto! |
