    It's an adaptation of one of the stories in the 14th-century medieval allegory the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, namely the second tale of the fourth day.

    Friar Alberto deceives a woman into believing that the Angel Gabriel is in love with her. As an excuse to sleep with her, Friar Alberto tells her that Gabriel can enter his body. Afterward, for fear of her kinsmen, he flings himself out of her window and finds shelter in the house of a poor man. The next day the poor man leads him in the guise of a wild man into the piazza, where, being recognized, he is apprehended by his fellow monks and imprisoned.

    There have been many movie adaptations of the Decameron, the most famous being Il Decameron by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

    Hope this helps!
