The Duches of Padua

The Duchess of Padua tells the story of a young man named Guido who was left in the charge of a man he calls his uncle as a baby. 


Guido gets a notice to meet a man in Padua in regards to something concerning his parentage. When he arrives in Padua he is convinced by a man named Moranzone to abandon his only friend, Ascanio, in order to dedicate himself to revenging his father’s death at the hands of Simone Gesso, the Duke of Padua.
