A beautiful sail ship lands at the Gulf of Naples. A mysterious Turkish prince, a restless young woman, a jealous husband, a poet in search of inspiration, a young melancholy Gypsy woman who carries a secret in her heart.

Many strange characters surround Donna Fiorilla in yet another of Rossini’s masterpieces and give life to a happy and entertaining story. The lively text is written by Cristina Marsi and has been beautifully illustrated by Daniela Volpari whose atmospheres make each page unforgettable.
