Opere minori di Giovanni Boccaccio
Queste opere sono state scritte quando Boccaccio viveva alla corte di Napoli. Rappresentano i suoi primi interessi letterari e anticipano molti temi che userà anche più avanti.
📖 Filostrato (1335)
- È un poema scritto in ottave.
- Si ispira alle storie della guerra di Troia.
Racconta l’amore infelice di Troiolo e Criseide.
- Troiolo soffre per amore e alla fine muore ucciso da Achille.
- L’opera parla soprattutto di sentimenti e dolore amoroso, più che di guerra.
- È importante perché rende famosa l’ottava rima nella poesia narrativa.
📖 Filocolo (1336–1339)
- È un romanzo scritto in prosa.
- Racconta la storia d’amore tra Florio e Biancifiore.
- I due si amano fin da piccoli, ma il padre di lei ostacola il loro amore.

- È un romanzo in forma di lettera.
- La protagonista è Fiammetta, una donna abbandonata dall’amato.
- Lei soffre e aspetta il suo ritorno, ma invano.
- È sposata e deve nascondere il suo dolore al marito.
- L’opera analizza profondamente i sentimenti della donna.
- L’amore viene visto come un sentimento naturale e non come un peccato.
Il Decameron – il capolavoro di Giovanni Boccaccio
- Il Decameron è stato scritto tra il 1349 e il 1353.
- Alcune novelle circolavano già prima che l’opera fosse completata.
- È considerato il capolavoro di Boccaccio.
È una delle opere più importanti della letteratura italiana in prosa.
- Le sue novelle diventano un modello per molti scrittori successivi.
L’opera propone anche un ideale di vita tipico dell’Umanesimo.
- Presenta l’idea dell’otium, cioè il tempo dedicato alla cultura, alla lettura e alla riflessione.
- Il ritiro in campagna, lontano dai problemi della città, diventa simbolo di una vita dedicata alla serenità e alla letteratura.
