Giovanni boccaccio is a representative figure of Italian Renaissance, a humanist writer and poet. Representative works include decameron, Philocolo and Teseda.
The similarities and differences of Boccaccio's works are all about love, drawing lessons from ancient Greek and Roman poems, myths and legends, showing traces of medieval traditions and chivalrous literature, but getting rid of stereotypes, full of pursuit of human life and happiness and condemning asceticism.
The influence of decameron's works;
Decameron laid the foundation for the development of Italian artistic prose and created the artistic form of European short stories.
After the publication of decameron, it was quickly translated into European languages and became very popular. Chaucer's Tales of Canterbury, England and Seven Days' Talks on Naba are imitations of decameron. De Vega, Shakespeare, Lessing, Goethe, Pushkin, Keats and so on. I also drew creative materials from the story of decameron.
Italian critics compare Boccaccio's decameron with Dante's Divine Comedy, calling it Renqu.
