Note 74 — VILLA DI POGGIO GHERARDO
Reading edition
Pampinea in the Introduction to the Decameron, after describing the horrors of the plague and the licentious life of the few inhabitants left in the town, suggests going to “our estates in the country, of which we all have a great many.” She was probably a Baroncelli—if one may attempt to identify personages or places in the Decameron.
