Ginevra degli Armieri's Legend

Ginevra deli Armieri was in love with Antonio Rondinelli but her father forced her to marry Francesco degli Agolanti instead.
A few years later in the 1440, she caught the plague and lay dead for a whole day.
Her family thought she was dead, so they buried her.
During the night she regained consciousness and went back out.
Thinking she was a ghost, her husband and her father turned her away.
She then went to knock on the door of her old lover, who took her in.
When her husband discovered that Ginevra was alive, he wanted her back, but the "death" had dissolved her first marriage and she married her old lover, Antonio Rondinelli.
