Now they return hoping to spend some time with the good-looking siblings. As before, things do not go as planned.

Boccaccio's Decameron, a story of renewal and recreation in defiance of a decimating pandemic, relates how ten self-isolated Italians pass the time regaling each other with tall tales during the Black Plague.
