"Why create a work when it is beautiful to only dream it?" Pier Paolo Pasolini
Written by Boccaccio between 1349 and 1353, The Decameron contains a hundred stories that are told in ten days of the lords of Florence kept away from the city because of the plague epidemic. Of all these stories, Pasolini will retain ten that he will link by bringing back here and there two or three characters, in particular that of Giotto (to whom he lends his features) who came to Naples to create a series of frescoes...
