With the help of Paolo, the corsair Simon Boccanegra is elected Doge of Genoa. He believes that in this position the patrician Jacopo Fiesco can no longer refuse the hand of his daughter Maria, Boccanegra's lover and mother of his daughter. But Maria dies and Fiesco swears revenge on Boccanegra unless he hands over his granddaughter to him. But the girl, who was placed in the care of a nurse, has disappeared. The fate of Boccanegra's daughter is being clarified 25 years later. She was taken in by the Grimaldi family as a foundling Amelia and loves the patrician Gabriele Adorno. Boccanegra asks her to marry Paolo, who has since become his chancellor. However, when father and daughter recognize each other, he gives up this plan. Paolo is outraged and has Amelia kidnapped, but this is thwarted by Adorno. While the Senate is in session, he invades the boardroom and wants to pounce on Boccanegra as the alleged instigator of this kidnapping. Amelia, however, intervenes. Boccanegra, who recognizes the person responsible for the kidnapping in Paolo, asks him to pronounce the curse on the criminal. Paolo retaliates by poisoning Boccanegra's sleeping potion. Adorno also seeks the Doge's life, since Paolo claims that he is Amelia's lover. But Amelia intervenes again and reveals herself to Adorno as Boccanegra's daughter. When the patricians plot to overthrow the Doge, Adorno takes Boccanegra's side. The rebellion is crushed, Paolo is sentenced to death, but his poison is already having an effect. Dying, Boccanegra reconciles with Fiesco, who learns that Amelia is his granddaughter.
