Particularly noteworthy is the cast, which is made up by stellar English and Italian Actors, the latter including the celebrated Duchess" d'Ansola, who portrays the role of the "Baroness Ottavia” to the life.
Beautiful Hilda Bailey, playsSimonetta," who, craving the gaieties of life and of her husband, is neglected.
