THE DECAMERON
To escape the plague that has struck Florence, ten young friends retreat to a country house far from the city. Each day, they gather in a beautiful garden, where every member of the group tells a story: ten tales a day for ten days.
From this literary premise emerged the Decameron, Giovanni Boccaccio's collection of one hundred novellas, written in the heart of the fourteenth century.
A vivid and irreverent portrait of human nature, it is a work in which love appears in its many forms and remains the most recurring theme throughout.
Twenty-one rooms, twenty-one tales, twenty-one small retreats away from the bustle of the city, where guests can savour the slow rhythm of life in Chianti.
