Specialist Notes
I work: Rare reprint of the century. XVIII edited by Paolo Rolli of the famous edition of the Decameron called "ventisettana" published by Giunti in 1527. This edition established the canon of Boccaccia's text, which remained unchanged until the edition of 1761 by Manelli. The ventisettetana is also known for its symbolic value: many of those who worked on its publication perished fighting against the Medici, the edition therefore became a symbol of the freedom of the Florentine Republic.
