Frederigo, a nobleman, initially tries to win Monna Giovanna's love through extravagant displays of wealth and charm. He hosts lavish banquets and engages in tournaments to showcase his valor and prowess, hoping to capture her attention. Despite his efforts, he ultimately finds that material wealth and social status do not guarantee her affection, as her heart remains unattainable. This pursuit highlights the theme of unrequited love and the futility of superficial gestures in matters of the heart.
Monna Giovanna does not return Frederigo's love at the beginning of the story because she is married and loyal to her husband. Additionally, she may not see Frederigo in a romantic light or be interested in pursuing a relationship with him due to social conventions and her own moral code.
When Monna Giovanna first presents herself to Frederigo at his farm, she is a widow seeking to retrieve her beloved falcon, which Frederigo had previously offered her as a gift. Despite his humble circumstances, Frederigo is struck by her beauty and grace. He is eager to impress her, even to the point of sacrificing his last possession—the falcon—demonstrating his deep admiration and unrequited love for her. This moment sets the stage for the themes of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of social status in their story.
