The Waldensian Martyrs

Lorenzo Medici, Duke of Florenze, employed Pietro as the city's medical practitioner. At the grand ball Pietro watched his friend Gerardo glide by with a beautiful Signorina. They twirled and whirled with the music, totally mesmerized with each other. The Pope watched Pietro. He knew he was a Waldensian youth, trained to spread Bible seeds of reformation wherever he went. The Pope issued his bull for Pietro's extermination, but how was he going to do this while Pietro was under the Duke's protection? THEN Pietro visited Rome for Gerardo's wedding, placing himself in great danger. He was caught and taken to the martyr-pile.
