La vertù primieramente noi, che tutti nascemmo e nasciamo iguali, ne distinse...”“[Y]ou will see that we all have flesh from the same mass of flesh and from the same creator all have souls created with equal forces, with equal powers, and with equal capabilities. Capability is the first thing that distinguished us, who all have been born and are born equal...”—Giovanni Boccaccio, Decameron
