AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Duke of Urbino has a passion for ladies. Caramello, barber to the Duke of Urbino and disguised as a gondolier, plans to take the beautiful Barbara to his master, but she has another assignation and sends in her place the fisher-girl Annina – Caramello’s girlfriend! While Annina is perfectly happy to be given to the Duke, Caramello realizes his mistake and does his best to keep Annina and his master apart. All ends well enough when the Duke returns Annina to Caramello, appoints him steward in his household and Caramello and Annina are married.
