Introducing Passion And The Plague

A brand new podcast series from The Independent is coming soon.


Passion And The Plague takes 10 stories from The Decameron, one of Europe's literary works of brilliance, to share with you.


In 1348 a group of ten friends leave plague-struck Florence for the countryside and, to keep their spirits up, they tell each other stories.


Now as we experience our a similar lockdown nearly 700 years later you can enjoy tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's epic while in isolation.
