Nel 1340-'41, in seguito al fallimento della Compagnia dei Bardi, richiamato dal padre torna a Firenze a una vita di ristrettezze economiche. Compone la Commedia delle Ninfe Fiorentine (1341-'42), l' Amorosa visione (1342), l' Elegia di madonna Fiammetta (1343-'44), piena di rimpianto per il mondo napoletano, ed infine il Ninfale fiesolano Decameron De genealogiis deorum gentilium ), sulla geografia ( De montibus, silvis, fontibus, lacubus, fluminibus, stagnis seu paludibus, et de nominibus maris De claris mulieribus ), e maschili ( De casibus virorum illustrium Nel 1355 o nel 1365 compone il Corbaccio . Forti scrupoli morali lo portano a meditare persino la distruzione del Decameron Nel 1362, e poi ancora nel 1370, si reca a Napoli nella speranza di trovarvi una decorosa sistemazione, ma entrambe le volte torna a Certaldo deluso e amareggiato. Nel 1373 riceve l'incarico da parte del Comune di Firenze di commentare pubblicamente la Commedia Inferno Stanco, malato e angustiato dalle solite ristrettezze economiche, si ritira a Certaldo, dove muore il 21 dicembre 1375, un anno e mezzo dopo il suo amico Petrarca.

THE GEOFFREY CHAUCER PAGE
Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) Giovanni Boccaccio is, with the older Dante and the contemporary Francis Petrarch, one of the three great poets of the Italian fourteenth century. Chaucer knew the works of all three, and it has been speculated that he may even have met both Petrarch and Boccaccio (but see below). Of the three, Boccaccio was the one on whom Chaucer drew most heavily, and in some sense strove to emulate; Chaucer based Troilus on Boccaccio's Il Filostrato
and his Knight's Tale on Il Teseida , and Chaucer's elaborate high style owes something to Boccaccio's attempt to emulate the classics in his own vernacular. In his Monk's Tale Chaucer drew on Boccaccio's Latin works, his account of the falls of famous men and his book of illustrious women. A number of the Canterbury tales tell stories that also appear in Boccaccio's Decameron There is a slim possibility that Chaucer met Boccaccio, who was living in Certaldo, just south of Florence, in the 1370's when Chaucer was in Italy. Donald Howard, in his biography ( Chaucer: His Life, His Works, His World

    Boccaccio, Giovanni
    The historical importance of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) as a literary theorist and critic lies not so much in the originality of his thinking as in his civic-spirited mediation between Dantean (scholastic) and Petrarchan (proto-humanist) cultures.
    Born at Certaldo, Boccaccio lived in Florence until the age of 13, when he joined his father at the Florentine merchant colony at Naples. There he trained as an apprentice merchant before switching to the study of canon law at the Neapolitan Studio. Returning to Florence in 1341, he became a vigorous supporter of the republican regime and served during the next thirty years as, inter alia, ambassador to emperor and pope, overseer of mercenary troops, and advisor to the bishop of Florence. He wrote his Decameron immediately after the catastrophic Black Death of 1348. By the time he first met Petrarch (1350), he was the undisputed leader of Florentine literary culture. Under Petrarch's influence, he turned increasingly away from vernacular fiction in favor of Latin encyclopedism. He took lessons in Greek, solicited translations from Greek texts, and in 1360 successfully worked to establish at Florence the first chair of Greek in non-Byzantine Europe. In 1373 the citizens of Florence chose him to give the world's first

    Medieval Sourcebook: Boccaccio: The Decameron - Introduction
    The onset of the Black Death, was described by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) I say, then, that the years of the beatific incarnation of the Son of God had reached the tale of one thousand three hundred and forty eight, when in the illustrious city of Florence, the fairest of all the cities of Italy, there made its appearance that deadly pestilence, which, whether disseminated by the influence of the celestial bodies, or sent upon us mortals by God in His just wrath by way of retribution for our iniquities, had had its origin some years before in the East, whence, after destroying an innumerable multitude of living beings, it had propagated itself without respite from place to place, and so calamitously, had spread into the West. In Florence, despite all that human wisdom and forethought could devise to avert it, as the cleansing of the city from many impurities by officials appointed for the purpose, the refusal of entrance to all sick folk, and the adoption of many precautions for the preservation of health; despite also humble supplications addressed to God, and often repeated both in public procession and otherwise by the devout; towards the beginning of the spring of the said year the doleful effects of the pestilence began to be horribly apparent by symptoms that shewed as if miraculous. Not such were they as in the East, where an issue of blood from the nose was a manifest sign of inevitable death; but in men a women alike it first betrayed itself by the emergence of certain tumors in the groin or the armpits, some of which grew as large as a common apple, others as an egg, some more, some less, which the common folk called
