The Two Foscari (I Due Foscari)
Jacopo Foscari, son of the doge of Venice Francesco Foscari, is to be judged by the Council of Ten for a crime of which he claims to be innocent. A sworn enemy of the Foscari family, the vindictive Jacopo Loredano, traitorously manages to get him sentenced to exile. Despite the pleading of Lucrezia, Jacopo’s wife, the unfortunate father is forced to sign the decree banishing his son, even though convinced of his innocence. The young man dies of despair just before the real murderer is revealed. Loredano ensures Francesco Foscari’s removal from office; Foscari collapses, lifeless.
