About Il Tiranno di Padova
Padua, 1540. Angelo is married to Caterina but has an affair with Tisbe, an actress who travels with Rodolfo, presented as her brother but actually her lover and also Caterina's first and true love. Tisbe is also searching for the daughter of the woman who saved her mother from capital punishment and to whom she had given a crucifix. Caterina, victim of a plot hatched by Angelo and Tisbe, is saved by her at the last minute, as she recognizes her as the daughter of the woman who saved her mother from capital punishment.
Directed by Max Neufeld, Il Tiranno di Padova leans on a strong ensemble — Elsa De Giorgi, Clara Calamai, Carlo Lombardi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1946.
