Summary

Volpone, a rich Venetian nobleman, with the assistance of his servant, Mosca, has devised a method for increasing his wealth by pretending that he is old and dying. Since he has no heirs, the plan is to encourage speculators to curry his favor by visiting him and bringing gifts in the expectation of being named in his will
