Fez de Boccaccio um cornudo.
The term "cuckold" is archaic in English. Is the word used when the wife is cheating and puts "the horns" on the husband.
However I believe in Portugal, Spain (perhaps) and certainly Italy the concept of putting the horns on on your spouse is still very well known. ("Corno" or "cornudo" em portugues; "cornuto" em italiano.
