Father and son set out together to take the jewels to the lady. Vanna is gathering roses and loses her ring. Gianello finds it for her, and she binds up his hand, which has been torn by the thorns. From that day the young people think of nothing but each other, though their station in life is so far apart. Vanna, however, is betrothed to Sir Guido Colonna. Gianello, divining that another will gather the sweet flower, climbs the wall of the palace to see Vanna once more. He is surprised by some of the palace retainers and taken for a thief. He is led into the presence of Vanna and her mother, and the young girl identifies him as the goldsmith's son and asks to have him taken back to his father. This is done, Gianello protests to his father that he is not a thief, but says that no one shall ever know his secret. His father is angry and determines that his son shall become a soldier. The captain of a band of adventurous soldiers is glad to accept Giannello as a recruit. The goldsmith's son makes a willing soldier. Pisa in the meantime is rejoicing in the marriage of Vanna and Sir Guido. But their happy days do not last long. The Florentines move against the Pisans and Pisa is invested for a long siege. The siege lasts a long time and the people of the city are nearly starving. At last Guido is forced to send an envoy to the Florentine general to beg tor peace terms. Prinzivalle, as he is now known, is none other than the goldsmith's son, Giannello, who has become commander of the Florentine forces. He dictates the following terms: "Pisa shall have peace and victuals only if Monna Vanna comes to me this night bringing the fairest roses in her garden." Vanna accepts the terms for her people's sake. In the meantime Prinzivalle has sent the food supplies to the city. The signal of acceptance of the terms glows from the tower of Pisa, and Vanna comes to the tent of the general. They talk together and at last Vanna recognizes in him the son of the goldsmith. He tells her that Pisa is already fed, and she gives him the roses she has brought. Vedio, his lieutenant, comes to warn him that the Florentines are furious and are coming to arrest him. Vanna promises him that Pisa will save him out of gratitude. He goes with her. But Guido proves unworthy of his noble wife.
