Casa del Boccaccio
Points of interest
Museums
The building where Giovanni Boccaccio – who was born in Certaldo in 1313 – is traditionally thought to have lived has been rebuilt after being damaged in the Second World War. It is now occupied by a museum and a specialist library devoted to the life and works of Boccaccio.
The library has a number offine illustrated editions of the poet’s great masterpiece, the Decameron, which was written between 1349 and 1351 and became celebrated principally as a result of some humorous, bawdy novellas.
