  Francesco Foscari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Foscari (1373-1457) was doge of Venice from 1423 to 1457, at the height of the Italian Renaissance.
Foscari was elected to lead Venice in a long and protracted series of wars against Milan, governed by the Visconti, who were attempting to dominate all of Italy.
Foscari's life was the subject of a play The Two Foscari by Lord Byron, which itself served as the basis of an opera I Due Foscari by Giuseppe Verdi which premiered on November 3, 1844.

Foscaris reign bore out Mocenigos warning and was full of wars on the terra ferma, and through the doges influence Venice joined the Florentines in their campaign against Milan, which was carried on with varying success for eight years.
In 1430 an attempt was made on Foscaris life by a noble to whom he had refused an appointment; and three years later a conspiracy of young bloods to secure the various offices for themselves by illicit intrigues was discovered.
After a long inquiry he was brought to trial for the second tune, and although all the evidence clearly pointed to his guilt the judges could not obtain a confession from the accused, and so merely banished him to Candia for the rest of his life, with a pension of two hundred ducats a year.

He composed relatively quickly: "Ernani" was premiered in Venice in March 1844, and "I due Foscari" was presented in Rome in November of that year.
