The text serves as a continuation of Giovanni Villani’s chronicle and provides a detailed narrative of events affecting Florence and broader contexts, especially during periods of plague and political upheaval. The work aims to illuminate the historical realities of the time through the lens of Villani's observations and experiences. The opening of the chronicle discusses the catastrophic mortality and various calamities that afflicted humanity, drawing connections to divine judgment and historical precedents. Villani begins by reflecting on the motivations behind writing history, stating the importance of preserving memory for future generations. He elaborates on the grievous epidemic affecting Europe during his time, recounts its far-reaching impacts, and anticipates the long-lasting repercussions on society, morality, and the economy. With a blend of personal reflection and historical recounting, the text sets the stage for an exploration of Florence's trials and tribulations during this bleak period.
