I read your fascinating article on Boccaccio’s Decamerone and the global pandemic on the website of Duke. I just wanted to let you know that Boccaccio is very much alive all over the world. The International Theatre Amsterdam had organized to have its actors read all the stories of the Decamerone during the first months of the pandemic. https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/mondo/video/de-decamerone.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAqdP9BRDVARIsAGSZ8AmHxEF-Vn98LRJNmSRlXjaIvwrl1rE1122Up0mmUdNRjKAMEL00RcAaApkJEALw_wcB&loaded=2
It’s just a small remark but I thought you might find this interesting!
