Film based on a true story of skullduggery, treachery and romance in the Italian Renaissance. This film is rarely seen in the U.S. the print I saw was faded, but in it's original color must have been more impressive, with actual Renaissance settings. Story is similar to Romeo and Juliet, with the lover (handsomely played by Jacques Sernas in settings familiar to him from his other film "Nights of Lucretia Borgia) connected to a young girl of an opposing faction. They come to a bad end thanks to the treachery of Bella Darvi's character.
