(pen name of Tommaso Guardati). Born circa 1420 in Salerno; died there circa 1475. Italian author.

Masuccio Salernitano’s collection Novellino (published 1476) is one of the most important works of Renaissance prose. His model for it was Boccaccio’s Decameron; however, he was inferior to Boccaccio in the art of depicting characters. His short stories are realistic and anticlerical, for which they were condemned by the church.
