L'Anconitana

About the show

Three young Christians captured by pirates are ransomed by a Venetian merchant and travel to Padua to earn money as beauty consultants. In Ancona, a widow falls for Isotta, who is disguised as a man, and follows the group; in Padua, the travelers become entangled with a courtesan, an elderly married merchant, and their servants, before Isotta and the widow discover they are sisters.
