but signor zanetto what about the promise you made me? i am not zanetto. zanetto, tonino, whichever you are. if you are not too proud to be related to me by marriage, you could still marry my daughter. this one will be richer still, because he'll inherit the other's money. oh, come now, doctor. i'm surprised at you. this is not your daughter. what? what was that you said? you see, i know all. i know all about the pilgrim i know about everything. you gossiping little villain. tell me, doctor. the medallion you found amongst the baby's clothes you have it still? he even knows about the medallion. no, i confess rosaura not to be my daughter but an unknown baby found by a pilgrim. but i have treated her as if she were my own daughter. this is flaminia, my sister. now, i know the love i felt for you. it was the love of a sister for her brother. and for that same reason did i love you. now, all my hope for beatrice is gone. no, you have ruined me. but how? i received an inheritance of 30,000 ducats for the upbringing of my only child, rosaura. the baby died, and

call me zanetto. ah. why zanetto? because i have a twin brother who lives in bergamo who's called that and he's very like me in looks. people will think i am he. and in that way, i will avoid any danger. and this brother of yours, does he still live in bergamo? i believe so. we've never been on friendly terms. i've heard he's getting married, though i don't know where or who to. he's the world's biggest ass. my house is at your disposal, friend, if you care to honor it. my dear fellow. though, to tell the truth, my father doesn't like seeing people. oh, i see. well, think nothing of it, my dear friend. i'll put up here at this inn. oh, i'm extremely sorry. but do come, i mean-- i didn't mean that. i meant--oh. oh, yes, yes, i deserve these reproaches. but my love for beatrice hardens my heart. what's important is that tonino leaves, but beatrice stays here with me. i'll do anything to get hold of that rare beauty. i owe tonino my life and i do everything, everything except deprive myself of beatrice.
