Fiesco; or, the Genoese Conspiracy: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller
"Fiesco; or, the Genoese Conspiracy: A Tragedy" by Friedrich Schiller is a republican tragedy written in 1782-1783. Set in 1547 Genoa, the play dramatizes a historical conspiracy against the aging Doge Andrea Doria and his tyrannical nephew Gianettino. The charismatic young Count Fiesco plays a dangerous double game, appearing as a carefree playboy while secretly plotting revolution. As noblemen rally around the conspiracy for varying motives, the question remains: does Fiesco seek
liberty for Genoa, or power for himself? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
