La fiaccola sotto il moggio

About the show

In an Abruzzese castle in the 1820s, Gigliola seeks vengeance for her mother Monica, whom her stepmother Angizia murdered before marrying Gigliola’s father, Tibaldo. As Gigliola prepares to kill Angizia and then herself, Tibaldo kills Angizia first; Gigliola nevertheless dies from a serpent’s bite, and the family’s decay culminates in her father’s death as well.
