Don Rodrigo:
https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Rodrigo
Don Rodrigo is a cruel and despicable Spaniard nobleman and the novel's main villain. As overbearing overlord, he decides to forcibly prevent the marriage of Renzo and Lucia, threatens to kill Don Abbondio if he marries the two and tries to kidnap Lucia. He's a clear reference to the foreign domination and oppression in Lombardy, first dominated by Spain and later by the Austrian Empire.
