TIME play opens in the supper room
of the Tornaquinci, friend of
n Lorenzo the Magnificent, where

young Giannetto Malespini (John
Barrymore has been ordered by Lorenzo
to give feast to his enemies, the Chiara-
mentesi, two brothers, who from his
youth have tormented him.
The Chiaramentesi are mercenaries in
the Florentine army, and the elder, Neri
(Lionel Barrymore), is a huge figure
of man, whose towering strength has
first inundated and then embittered
Giannetto, the young painter of
Madonnas.
When Giannetto comes to the banquet
hall, the Tornaquinci, his host, asks him
who are to be his guests, since the ban
quet has been so arranged by Lorenzo
that Giannetto shall be host But first
he asks to hear the latest outrage of the
Chiaramentesi.
