#also I do know that this is more about the cornice than anything (allegedly) but still WHAT IS THAT.

Boccaccio: “I want to give my work a university type of layout, I’ll have the text in two columns, because this is a serious text and I want to send the message across to people. those are not just silly stories.”

Also… the Decamerone has at its core a hopeful message, that one can overcome any adversity…not that everybody bloody dies!

Not to mention the message on the respect of women… not even a footnote in the show…

Did they even skim the book?! Probably less than a 13 years old Italian kid that just gets interested when erotica is mentioned about it in school…

Funniest thing is how I remember the two themes…because Boccaccio bloody tells what they are in the end. No need to paraphrase, he literally wrote it down!

Basically they took the name, a few (few) of the names of the characters and the villa’s location…

They could have at least taught the actors ( don’t get me started about their nationality…seriously a fucking Irish one?) to bloody pronounce padrone/a right!

It wasn’t even 10 episodes!

I should have trusted my instinct…
