La battaglia di Legnano

About the show

Arrigo returns to Milan after being presumed dead and finds that Lida, his former love, has married his friend Rolando. Arrigo joins the Knights of Death to fight the German emperor Federico Barbarossa. When Rolando discovers Lida’s note to Arrigo, he locks the pair in a tower to keep Arrigo from battle. Arrigo escapes and fights; after the Lombard League’s victory, he dies after assuring Rolando that Lida was faithful.
