Young Giovanni has it all - the son of the rich nobleman Florio and a bright scholar, he’s returning home to Parma after a glittering year at university with his tutor, the Friar, in tow. While he’s been away, his sister Annabella has attracted a large crowd of potential suitors, with her father making it clear that the dashing Soranzo is his preferred pick for her future husband.

There’s just one problem.
Giovanni is in love with his sister.
