They are the protagonists of the novella 5, giornata VI ("Forese Da Rabatta e Giotto pittore') of The' Decameron ' by Giovanni Boccaccio. Levi's great vein of portraiture is also revealed in this study that emotionally recreates the figures of Boccaccio, in a dry and dry handwriting. it gives real shape to imaginary figures, tracing and simplifying volumes according to the great modern French tradition (Modigliani-Picasso). critics talk about 'expressionism'.
