Boccaccio's House, Medieval history museum in Certaldo, Italy.
The three-story stone building houses exhibitions on multiple floors, displaying artifacts, documents, and artworks related to Giovanni Boccaccio's literary career.
The house, dating from the early 13th century, suffered severe damage during a 1944 World War II airstrike and underwent complete reconstruction afterwards.
The museum contains illustrated editions of The Decameron, period furniture, and a notable fresco of Boccaccio painted by Benvenuti in the poet's room.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM between April and October, with reduced hours during winter months.
The collection includes women's shoes from the late 14th and early 15th centuries, offering direct evidence of fashion during Boccaccio's time period.
