 THE SUMMARY OF FEDERIGO'S FALCON

The story “Federigo’s Falcon” tells of a talented young man

who falls into poverty while trying to woo the woman he
loves. Even in poverty, he continues to give his all to her, and
after many trials, the two are married.
The story starts by listing the virtues of a young man, Federigo,
renowned both for his prowess with weapons and his
courtliness. Federigo falls in love with Monna Giovanna, one
of the most beautiful and charming women in Florence and
spends his money exorbitantly to court her. She, however,
doesn’t take any notice, and Federigo is forced into poverty in
the country with only his prized falcon for company.
 Monna Giovanna’s husband dies, and she moves to the
country with her son for her mourning period. The two live
near Federigo, and the son often spends time with the man.
Unfortunately, the boy falls ill and asks for Federigo’s falcon
to cure him. The mother is troubled at the thought of taking
Federigo’s only source of income, but she decides to try for
the sake of her son.
Federigo welcomes Monna Giovanna into his house, but soon
he becomes anxious when he realizes that he has nothing to
feed her for dinner. To make a good impression, he orders the
falcon killed and roasted for dinner. After dinner, Monna
Giovanna begs Federigo to give her the falcon, whereupon he
becomes inconsolable and bursts into tears because he cannot
comply with her request.
 Sadly, the son passes away, and Monna Giovanna is
required to remarry. She declares that she will have no
one but Federigo, and together with her riches and
Federigo’s newfound sense, they live happily for the rest
of their days.
