The story unfolds in the grand, historical setting of Siena, featuring characters from the aristocratic Della Lizza family, including Romano and Luisa, as well as their children and various societal figures. The work examines themes of family, societal pressures, and the evolution of traditions amidst personal and economic struggles. At the start of this drama, the reader is introduced to a lavish salon where a gathering of guests enjoys chocolate and conversation. The atmosphere is lively, marked by playful banter and flirtation among the younger characters, such as Gaia and Piero, as well as the daring interactions between Selvaggia and Roberto. As Romano, Luisa’s husband, hides from his family’s accumulating debts and personal turmoil, there is an undercurrent of tension surrounding the family's financial wellbeing, evidenced through discussions amongst the guests about their social standing and obligations. The opening intricately sets the stage for a complex interplay of personal and familial dynamics, suggesting deeper themes of sacrifice and societal expectations that will likely unfold in the following acts.
