Being a handsome young man, he had no lack of affairs of the heart, but Already Benvenuto loved only Della, whose mother intended to marry her to a wealthy old Count. was in bad repute with the magistrates of the city. Hirelings of a rivalsgoldsmith try to cripple him for life and steal his valuable designs and in a fury, Benvenuto attacks two of them, killing one. He flees to a frist, begging sanctuary, knowing that if captured, he will be hanged.
P
Good Fra Strozzi, knowing the Cellini family and the excel- lent craftsmanship of this handsome young Beavenuto, and see- ing that he bemed to be in dire trouble, proceeded to reassure" him.
"My son," he said, "come with me, Benvenuto to beg him to come to my cell for, though you have done every sin in the world, there' you will be in perfect safety."
This was true enough. It is doubtful if any power less than that of the Pope, could have auth- ority to remove one from a friar's cell who had been given sanctuary

Meanwhile, Benvenuto sent back and work with him, and that Benvenuto had instantly rendered message to Signorita Della Bantini Filllpo unconscious and had mur-assuring her of his safety and well- dered Gausco.
