Plot summary
As the plague spreads through Florence in 1348, seven young women and three men leave the city for a country villa in the Tuscan hills, where they wait out the epidemic by telling each other stories. Catalina falls ill, and her husband Nicoluccio has her carried to the countryside; Gentile Carisendi, who loves her, follows the carriage. In Florence, the painter's apprentice Calandrino is told by two fellow apprentices about a stone that makes a person invisible. Duke Tancredi's daughter Ghismunda, widowed young, falls in love with Guiscardo, a metal smith in her father's service. The nuns of a convent in Certaldo find one of their sisters, Isabetta, with a man and carry the news to Badessa Usimbalda. The knight Federico degli Alberighi has spent all he owns courting Giovanna, and has nothing left but a falcon.
