Laid in a provance in Italy, this drama revolves about the troubled period of 1748, when the tyrannical Duke Allessandro oppressed his people and fomented the country into a state of open rebellion. Secret societies sprang up, plotting the overthrow of the tyrant, and one of these, the Brotherhood of the Holy- Cross was led by the gentle and wise Salamo, a rich Italian landholder. On Salamo’s land worked Guido Fornari, a young farmer. To this lad came the unexpected windfall of a number of coins, found buried in Salamo’s field. The author has traced the influence of this money on the young farmer's character, and the Climax of the play, inevitable in its tragedy, is highly dramatic.[5]
