Anichino (Lodovico) appears in Filomena’s seventh tale (VII, 7). Raised in the French royal household, Anichino displays nobility of character when he falls in love from afar (amor du lonh) with the reputation of Madonna Beatrice. He disguises himself as a servant and enters her husband’s household, eventually becoming Beatrice’s lover. In this way, he demonstrates steadfast love and the inherent nobility of a good character.
