该作讲述1348年,意大利佛罗伦萨瘟疫流行,10名男女在乡村一所别墅里避难。他们终日游玩欢宴,每人每天讲一个故事,共住了10天讲了百个故事,这些故事批判天主教会,嘲笑教会传授黑暗和罪恶,赞美爱情是才华和高尚情操的源泉,谴责禁欲主义,无情暴露和鞭挞封建贵族的堕落和腐败,体现了人文主义思想。《十日谈》是欧洲文学史上第一部现实主义巨著;意大利近代评论家桑克提斯曾把《十日谈》与但丁的《神曲》并列,称之为“人曲”。

Whereupon Minghino with the blithest of hearts wedded Agnesa with all due pomp and circumstance, and brought her home, where for many a year thereafter he lived with her in peace and prosperity.
