Matteo Bandello fut un narrateur italien, principalement connu pour sa vaste collection de nouvelles. Ses histoires, puisant dans les traditions de Boccace et de Marguerite de Navarre, s'inspiraient de fabliaux français, de récits orientaux et de narrations classiques. Bandello s'imposa comme un maître de ce genre, bien que certains critiques aient noté une négligence stylistique. Son influence narrative est remarquable, notamment dans les œuvres de William Shakespeare, qui a adapté plusieurs de ses contes pour ses pièces renommées.
