#ReadingDecameron
Today many people have to spend a lot of time at home to avoid risking their health, just like characters of Decameron, a classic Italian novel written in early Renaissance. We are launching the #ReadingDecameron promotion so that everyone could have a chance to watch the famous Giovanni Boccaccio's work online from anywhere on Earth. They will hear tales about religion, humour, heroes and love read aloud by film and stage actors, journalists and other famous personalities. You can join the readings too! Record yourself reading one of the tales and send it to us via the feedback form. We will post the best videos on our website.
