The film is noteworthy for involving Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarca - some of the most important people of Italian medieval and renaissance literature - as well as Geoffrey Chaucer in a plot which presents Boccaccio's dream descent into Dante's Inferno as a frame for a number of story vignettes dealing on the sinful lives of the damned he encounters on his way.[2]


Plot


Giovanni Boccaccio dreams of being led into hell, precisely into the department of "lechers". On his way, he learns the stories of some of the damned.

On his way, Boccaccio also meets Nero and the majestic figure of Dante Alighieri.


Cast



Production and censorship


The first version of the film was entitled Italian: Le mille e una notte di Boccaccio a Canterbury, lit.'The Thousand and One Tales of Boccaccio in Canterbury' - a title reflecting all three subject matters of Pier Paolo Pasolini's Trilogy of Life which consisted of Boccaccio's The Decameron (1971), Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1972) and Arabian Nights, an adaptation of One Thousand and One Nights released in 1974).

This first title, however, ended up being discarded when the film was rejected by the Italian board of censorship on November 15, 1972. According to the list deposited at the ministry when the film was resubmitted, several sequences were cut or shortenend, among them the shots in hell containing female frontal nudity and other sex and nude scenes as well a close-up of Brother Alessio in the barrel of excrements, while the first episode was completely reshot without nudity. Since the film's original director Joe D'Amato was at the time already working as cinematographer on Alberto de Martino's Counselor at Crime in the United States, the direction of the reshoot was given to Franco Lo Cascio. The film ended up being 106 metres, i.e. approximately 4 minutes, shorter. It passed when it was resubmitted under its current title on April 18, 1973.[4]


Release


The film was theatrically released in Italy. It was later distributed on VHS by Shendene & Moizzi in their "Collezzione decamerotico".[5]
