This is a long shot because I read this a long time ago. Generic cover from a library sale.

A young man (I think Pietro) in medieval Italy is poor and has no home but he manages to help everyone while always getting the short end of the stick. He falls in love with a noble woman but she is engaged to another man.

He travels around generally getting screwed over but everyone loves him. He hears the woman he loves and is trying to get back to had a baby with her husband and is incredibly happy so he tries to move on. After more tragedy for him he finds her and finds out he kid is his.

TIA
