This man discussed his rejection by a young widow in a work whose name refers to an evil crow, Corbaccio. He's not Geoffrey Chaucer, but one of his works ends with the death of Arcita and the marriage of Emilia and Palemone. This author of The Elegy of Lady Fiammetta and Teseida wrote a work in which Troila is unable to kill Diomedes and win Criseida's hand, Il Filostrato, but he is best known for a work in which narrators like Filomena and Emilia narrate tales to a group of Florentines escaping the plague. For ten points, name this Italian author of The Decameron.
