The Two Foscari
A historical tragedy in five acts by Lord Byron (1821) The Two Foscari was based on the life of Francesco Foscari (1373 -1457), doge of Venice from 1423 to 1457. Later to become the basis of Guiseppe Verdi’s opera I due Foscari, the play explores an inescapable conflict between parental love and political authority.
