Description
Lorezzo, the natural son of a princess raised in secret by a peasant, is summoned by his dying mother, who wishes to reveal his true identity at last. In agony, she wishes to officially recognize him and grant him his place as heir, on a par with his younger brother. Lorezzo enters the room where she lies in bed. At his side stand his brother - Lorezzo's uncle - as well as the princess's legitimate son, Lorezzo's younger brother.
