The story revolves around Princess Rosmunda, the beautiful and beloved only daughter of the widowed King of Scaricabarili, who is faced with the prospect of an arranged marriage to satisfy political demands, despite her deep reluctance. The narrative explores the princess's dilemma as she attempts to navigate the challenges posed by three potential suitors, each posing their own threats to her happiness and the stability of her kingdom. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Rosmunda and her father, who is concerned about her future as he prepares to find her a husband. The princess, however, is reluctant and prefers to remain free and adored by her people rather than marry one of the unsuitable suitors sent by neighboring monarchs, who are either unappealing physically or morally despised. The opening also introduces a mysterious old woman in the garden, who reveals herself to be Rosmunda's fairy godmother, offering advice and a magical opportunity that could help her escape her predicament, thus setting the stage for both the conflict and the fantastical elements of the story.
