Each day, they tell stories that explore themes of love, wit, and human nature. The work is divided into ten days, with each character telling one story per day. "Декамерон" is considered a significant literary achievement and has influenced many writers, including Шекспир and Чосер. Its blend of humor and tragedy reflects the complexities of life during a tumultuous period.
