Boccaccio returned to Florence in early 1341, avoiding the plague in that city of 1340, but also missing the visit of Petrarch to Naples in 1341.
He had left Naples due to tensions between the Angevin king and Florence.
His father had returned to Florence in 1338, where he had gone bankrupt.
His mother died shortly afterward ( possibly, as she was unknown-see above ).
Although dissatisfied with his return to Florence, Boccaccio continued to work, producing Comedia delle ninfe fiorentine ( also known as Ameto ) a mix of prose and poems, in 1341, completing the fifty canto allegorical poem Amorosa visione in 1342, and Fiammetta in 1343.
The pastoral piece Ninfale fiesolano probably dates from this time also.
In 1343, Boccaccio's father re-married, to Bice del Bostichi.
His children by his first marriage had all died but he had another son, Iacopo, in 1344.
