Maddalena

About the show

In 15th-century Venice, Maddalena is married to artist Genaro but has an affair in disguise with his friend Stenio, an alchemist. Stenio tells Genaro about the mysterious woman and then recognizes Maddalena. The men turn on her, but she provokes them to fight. Genaro kills Stenio and is wounded; as he dies, he urges Maddalena to kill herself. She wonders which man she loved, then calls from the window for help and claims a stranger killed her husband.
