La capricciosa corretta

About the show

Over one day in a villa near Naples, the vain Ciprigna makes life miserable for her husband Bonario, his children, and their servants. Fiuta, Bonario's major domo, devises a series of schemes to curb her behavior. Ciprigna flirts with Lelio, who loves Isabella, and later plans to have Isabella abducted. Fiuta disguises himself as an ambassador who promises Ciprigna an imaginary kingdom. After being locked out in a storm, she asks forgiveness and agrees to change; the family reconciles.
