These tragicomical stories, often politically or socially charged, primarily situated in a fictional village on the Po called Boccaccio, in the period immediately after World War II, paint a clear picture of post-war Italy. In this period, the Italian Communist Party was powerful, but the Second World War and fascism are still vividly remembered. Boscaccio has a communist mayor named Peppone.

But despite their different views, these men can count on each other in the fight against social injustice and abuses.
