Fourth Day: Second Tale
A scoundrel by the name of Berto della Massa moves to Venice and becomes a friar, taking the name Brother Alberto. He manages to fool everyone into believing that he is a very holy man. Brother Alberto then sets out to seduce the vain and gullible Madonna Lisetta, the wife of a wealthy merchant. Praising her beauty he leads her to believe that the Archangel Gabriel is in love with her and wants to pay her a visit in her bedroom. Brother Alberto tells her that the angel will visit her by taking possession of his body. Madonna Lisetta believes it all and receives numerous visits from the angel. Eventually, due to Lisetta's boasting that the angel Gabriel is her lover, the affair is discovered. Brother Alberto suffers public humiliation and permanent confinement in his monastery.
