Federigo's Falcon is a tale of courtly love by Giovanni Boccaccio that takes place during medieval times. The story is about a man named Federigo who lived in Florence and was in love with a women named Giovanna who never paid him any attention even though he would spend allot of money and time trying to impress her. In the middle of the story Giovanna needs Federigo's help and is the only time that she actually acknowledges him. The theme of the story is to not just acknowledge people when you need their help, but try to talk to them on regular bases because you want to; not so you can get something out of it later.
