Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. ![]() The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Boccaccio probably conceived of the Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city. The Decameron ( / d ɪ ˈ k æ m ər ə n/ Italian: Decameron or Decamerone ), subtitled Prince Galehaut (Old Italian: Prencipe Galeotto ) and sometimes nicknamed l'Umana commedia ("the Human comedy", as it was Boccaccio that dubbed Dante Alighieri's Comedy " Divine"), is a collection of short stories by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375). ![]() ![]() ![]() In Esquivias (Province of Toledo), on 12 December 1584, he married the much younger Catalina de Salazar y Palacios (Toledo, Esquivias –, 31 October 1626), daughter of Fernando de Salazar y Vozmediano and Catalina de Palacios.

Little is known of his mother Leonor de Cortinas, except that she was a native of Arganda del Rey. His father was Rodrigo de Cervantes, a surgeon of cordoban descent. It is assumed that Miguel de Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares. His novel Don Quixote is often considered his magnum opus, as well as the first modern novel. Miguel de Cervantes y Cortinas, later Saavedra was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. ![]() |
