Giovanni Fiorentino

Giovanni Fiorentino was a 14th-century Florentine writer, to whom is attributed the work Il Pecorone ("The Simpleton").

This was a collection of short stories, purportedly published in 1378.

The attribution, given in the opening sonnet accompanying the collection, is supposed to be spurious although it is mostly retained for convenience.
