The important facts are that such a poem exists and that a hint as to its music has come down to us.
In the "Decameron" we are told often how some one or other of the personages sings to the company.

Sometimes it is a dance song, as for example the "Io son si vaga della mia bellezza." To this all the others spontaneously dance while singing the refrain in chorus.

Another time the queen of the day, Emilia, invites Dioneo to sing a canzona.

There is much pretty banter, while Dioneo teases the women by making false starts at several then familiar songs.

In another place Dioneo with lute and Fiametta with viol play a dance.
