Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 in Certaldo, Tiscany - 1375, ibid) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo, he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as "the Certaldese"[nb 2] and one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century.
