Chapter 39: Angels also need promotional packaging Giovanni.
Boccaccio, born in Florence, was a famous humanist writer in the 14th century and an outstanding representative of the Italian Renaissance.
If there is anyone who is the most interesting guy in Florence in this era, Boccaccio is definitely one of them.
This guy is cheerful and humorous, likes chatting, joking, and spreading rumors, especially all kinds of dirty jokes.
All kinds of true or false gossips come into his mouth, and they are always told so vividly.
Just like the tabloids, paparazzi and those "big Vs" on the Internet in later generations, you probably won't admire him, but you are very fond of him.
It's hard not to like him.
If Boccaccio were placed in China in the 21st century, he would probably immediately become a top internet celebrity with over a million fans.
Of course, any excellent big v or paparazzi is not made in a day.
Although Boccaccio loved literature and art since childhood, he liked reading and wanted to be a great poet, but his father regarded him as not doing his job properly.
When he was about fourteen years old, the old Boccaccio ignored his son's interests and sent him to Naples to study business, and then changed to study law.
As a result, the young man wasted twelve years of good time in vain.
Others commented: During the six years of internship in the commercial bank, he was as stupid as a donkey; during the other six years of internship in the court, he was as stupid as another donkey.
There is no way, for those artistic geniuses with unrestrained ideas, boring business contracts and legal provisions are too torturous.
Fortunately, the court in Naples was relatively open-minded at that time.
Around the king, in addition to feudal nobles, early financiers, and navigators who had returned from the ocean, there was also a group of well-informed scholars, some of whom also knew Greek and Arabic.
Wen formed a cultural center in Italy at that time.
During his stay in Naples, Boccaccio, through the influence of his father, often had the opportunity to participate in some social activities at the court, which expanded his horizons in the cultural field.
So, after not long hanging out in the cultural circles, he announced that he hated business and law, and added shockingly: He loved poverty and poetry.
From then on, he began to stop doing his job and began to write poems, imitating the elaborate literary style that was popular at that time. .
Of course, although Boccaccio, who gave up his studies, claimed to "love poverty", he never forgot to ask his father for a lot of money to squander.
Next, Boccaccio, who further degenerated from a stupid student into a libertine, wrote many erotic and bold obscene poems, which really made him somewhat famous.
Obviously, poets always fall in love.
So he also fell in love, and he had a very good taste in women.
The lover Boccaccio chose for himself was Princess Maria of the Kingdom of Naples, the half-sister of the future Queen of Naples, Joanna I.
However, this Princess Maria was not a genuine product, but the illegitimate daughter of the king.
She was also a famous slut in Italy at that time.
In modern medical terms, she was a so-called nymphomaniac.
In later generations, It is often vividly compared to a "juicer".
Therefore, although Maria already had a husband at that time, she still felt that it was not enough to meet her needs in bed, so she recruited lovers on a large scale and squeezed their bodies and wallets.
This luxurious person lived a luxurious life.
And the slutty "bus" princess is never satisfied with sex or money.
Perhaps all writers in the world love bad women.
Boccaccio was fascinated by her as soon as he saw her.
He affectionately called Maria "little flame" and wrote many beautiful love poems to her, which he dedicated countless times.
Because his pursuit of Maria was so crazy, even Joe, who was not the queen at the time.
Princess Wanna knew about it.
Unfortunately, "Little Flame"'s reputation was widely spread, there were too many adulterers, and the schedule was too full.
After waiting for five years, "Little Flame" was not available.
There was an opening on the bed.
Boccaccio quickly dived in and finally tasted her.
After a year of happy life, Boccaccio found that his kidney deficiency problem was getting worse and worse, and he had to lament that "the edge of his knife had become blunt".
Besides, he had basically spent all the money he had collected from his father, and he seemed to be a prodigal.
It is also a common problem among many great writers.
As a result, Boccaccio, who was unable to satisfy women's demands in all aspects, was driven out of bed by "Little Flame" and returned to his apartment in despair to continue writing poems.

And the level of poetry has been further improved.
Boccaccio condensed the desire that could not be vented into a brilliant obscene poem.
This obscene poem, which has 5,400 lines, describes various tastes, immoral pleasures, and sexual positions with great interest.
It has become a classic masterpiece in the history of erotic literature and influenced many poets in later generations.
It was an instant hit and a sensation in the literary world at the time, and even Queen Joanna was deeply impressed by it.
Some time later, Boccaccio's father's business failed and went bankrupt, and he died in depression.
Having lost financial support and lost his fortune, Boccaccio had no choice but to return to Florence and find a way to find a job in the government.
At the same time, he used his spare time to serve as a paparazzi and write various lively gossip stories.
But he still couldn't forget Princess Maria's delicate body, and even wrote a novel about female psychology, Little Flame, which described a woman's complex psychological changes in the process in great detail.
He can be called the master of sexual psychology, Flo Ed's old timer.
Then, in the city of Florence where the Black Death broke out, he had an unexpected encounter with Little Flame's sister, Queen Joanna of the Kingdom of Naples.
There was also a group of time-travelers who used black technology props from the 22nd century to disguise themselves as "angels" and were very sad to learn of the death of "Little Flame".
Princess Maria, who had obsessed him for half his life, had passed away last year.
He died of the Black Death in 1347.
Knowing that this unspectacular guy in front of them was actually a great literary master who went down in history, all the time-travelers could not help but marvel.
They also took a bunch of photos of him and asked the frightened Mr.
Boccaccio to sign them as a souvenir.
They thought it was because of their embezzlement of public funds.
But after satisfying their curiosity, everyone had difficulties in how to arrange this great writer who would become famous in the future.
Although Boccaccio will be very famous in the history of literature in the future, he is now just a guy who writes best-selling pornographic articles.
He is not even qualified as a literary critic.
His social status is probably about the same as that of later Japanese painters.
Although his sense of existence is Strong, but mainstream public opinion actually despises this guy.
And his title of government financial officer was useless at the moment when the Florentine government itself had collapsed.
The Florentine government's treasury had long been divided up when the big shots fled for refuge.
It's really clean enough for a mouse to skate on.
As for letting Boccaccio lead the way and tell everyone who has the richest families in Florence, Queen Joanna and the bishop sent by the Holy See to assist probably know better than Boccaccio that the former often needs Borrowing money from Florentine bankers to fill the treasury deficit; the latter often came to Florence to collect donations and collect taxes on behalf of the Holy See.
But it seemed a pity to just send him home like this.
In the end, Doraemon had an idea and came up with a task that would allow Mr.
Boccaccio to use his professional expertise: let him help write some praises for cats.
Poems and short stories as promotional material.
Ever since he witnessed his stray cat friend wholeheartedly helping medieval Europeans catch mice, but was tortured and killed by "stupid humans", the frustrated Doraemon became greatly stimulated and became more and more eager to transform the world's Christianity.
It became a "cat worship party".
Because after all, this matter does not involve the core interests of the church, and it is under the special background that the Black Death is about to devour the continent, and the "angels" are holding the only life-saving elixir, the Catholic Church has basically no objection to the above-mentioned innovations, and they are all Accepted it.
But even if the church is willing to cooperate in such a small matter, how to change customs and customs next, especially to reverse the long-standing prejudice against cats in people's minds and make them believe that cats are beneficial and sacred animals?
This requires corresponding guidance.
Textbooks, not just random slogans.
If you don’t even have a doctrine or manual, how are you going to get those propagandists to preach?
You can’t even convince yourself.
But the problem is, although thanks to the hundreds of millions of cat lovers on the earth in future generations, there are countless essays, essays, poems, and stories praising cats.
A casual search on the modern Internet can find hundreds of them.
Thousands of articles, even in Latin, Italian and French, are not difficult to find.
But after all, this is a work written several centuries later.
Regardless of the ideological concepts or genre format, it seems to be somewhat incompatible with the style of the Renaissance.
All the Vatican priests and nuns who read these articles brought by the time-travelers said that they read them.

It feels very awkward and difficult to explain to believers.
And if they were asked to write according to the literary style of this era, all the time-travelers expressed their inability to write.
In the past, I had been focusing mainly on searching for property.
After all, raising money to repay the loan sharks to Doraemon was the most important thing, so I could only put this matter aside for the time being.
But now that I have met Boccaccio in Florence, As a great writer, Doraemon naturally took advantage of him and ordered him to take on the task of writing the "Cat Worship Club" textbook.
At least it looked professional and quite relevant, right?
Unfortunately, Mr.
Boccaccio seemed not to be doing a very good job even with such a seemingly simple task. oshow7:
