SUMMARY
There was once a man named Federigo from from Florence who fell in love with a woman named
Monna Giovanna, who in her time was considered one of the loveliest and most adorable women to be
found in Florence.
(At one point, he was very wealthy and he spent all his riches trying to impress her by throwing grand
parties which later lead to him becoming poor.)
Considering Monna was the most beautiful and charming woman in Florence, she cared little for these
things done on her behalf.
Later Monna, become a widow when her husband feel ill. Which forced Monna to moved back to the
town Federigo lives in. Her son became ill and asked for one request – Federigo’s falcon.
So Monna Showed up at Federigo’s door one day unannounced.
“Federigo I have come to compensate you for the harm you have suffered on my account by loving me
more than you needed to. I intend to dine with you – a simple meal – this very day.
Federigo welcomes her in right away escorting her to the garden for a meal.
Federigo then realizes he doesn’t have suitable food for this worthy lady.
Until he sets his eyes upon his good falcon – His prized possession.
Without further thought, he wrung its neck and quickly gave it to the servant girl to pluck and roast.
As they are eating the dinner, Monna explains why she is really there.
She explain, “ My son is very ill and his dying wish was to have Federigo’s falcon as his own”
Federigo begins to weep and states that he killed the falcon to make his meal.
Monna was upset, losing all hope of getting the falcon and perhaps improving her sons health. She then
thanked Federigo and left in grief.
Days later Monna’s son passed away. She then sees where her husband was buried.
After the period of her mourning and bitterness had passed, she was repeatedly urged by her brothers o
remarry.
Monna says, “if you wish me to take a husband, you may rest assured that I shall take no man but
Federigo degli Alberghi”
Her brothers say she’s foolish for wanting such a man with not even a penny to his name.
She defends, I would rather have a man who needs money than money that needs a man”
She visits Federigo again very apprehensive. Not yet willing to allow herself to love again.
After thinking of Federigo and how noble he is and in love with her, she decides to let go and give in.
When federigo found himself the husband of such a great lady he lived with her happily the rest of his
days.
