- ↑ In Venice, with the carnival in full swing, Spadoni, lieutenant of the Duke of Pesaro – a leading figure in the City and a member of the Council of Ten – and his henchmen abduct the beautiful Leonor. To make the young girl love him, the Duke has hired Stradella, a singer and singing teacher. He is, however, completely unaware of the love affair between Stradella and Leonor. Stradella will, therefore, use the mandate that authorises him to visit Leonor to help her escape from the palace of the Duke, who, furious at having been duped, pursues them all the way to Rome, charging Spadoni with hiring some gangsters. Their mission will be to kill Stradella. Will the Duke have to step aside when confronted with the reality of their love?
