Boccaccio

Music | July 30, 1936

The residents of the town of Ferrara are swept up in a tide of emotion and physical passion by the writings of a Renaissance author. Before long, the town is in chaos and it becomes difficult to keep track of which characters have been involved with one another. Is it any wonder the Germans didn't take their Italian allies seriously?!
