Episode 98 - Italy - The DecameronDescription
Coucou everyone!
We're back - we had a fabulous summer and are ready to share more Europhile episodes with you! :)
On this week's episode, we discuss what is considered to be thee original Italian novel, The Decameron (Il Decamerone) by Giovanni Boccaccio. Inspired by the recent debaucherous Netflix show, Kate tells us about why it was trailblazing, why it was controversial and why it eventually was (briefly) banned by the Catholic Church - naughty! For the mini topic, Catherine then tells us about the tragic tale of Amedeo Modigliani and his muse, Jeanne Hébuterne. So please join us this week and enjoy!
