DECAMERON - FAIRYTALES - EROTIC ART. Illustration by Louis Chalon for the J. M. Rigg translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, 1903. Second Day: Rinaldo d'Asti kissing the widow woman, mistress of the Marquis Azzo, who is anxious to console him for the cruelty of her lover. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), probably born in Certaldo, in Val d'Elsa. His Decameron is a collection of one hundred stories, told by young men and women who were avoiding Florence during the Plague of 1348. Many of the tales are erotic in nature, and many were adopted by Boccaccio, rather than being original.
