While I was reading these pages, I understood why the classics are immortal. This period was the best time to read this novel because of the similar conditions between #COVID-19 and plague.

ale.giannoccolo I read this book for the first time when I was 15 because it is an Italian classic in the Italian school plane. But maybe I was too young to appreciate and I don‘t like read when somebody else forced me to do. However, I love this novel: it‘s brilliant and present even if it was written in 1800. I want to read Decameron, too. 4y

Bullies, oppressors and all men who do violence to the rights of others are guilty not only of their own crimes, but also of the corruption they bring into the hearts of their victims.
