First performed in the Teatro alla Valle, Rome during Carnival of the year 1763.
Count Bellezza (as the name implies) is a conceited dandy, infatuated with his own good looks. He is also a male chauvinist given to opinions derogatory of women, which is why two intelligent and strong-willed sisters decide to teach him a lesson. Lindora's tutor, Ferramonte, offers to defend the feminist virtues even to the extent of challenging the Count to a duel. Unfortunately, Ferramonte is a coward, and the duel never takes place. Nevertheless, the Count is chastised by the ladies, who turn their backs on him. Ferramonte winds up with Lindora (whom he has secretly loved), and Aurelia goes off to a party on the arms of Flaminio, the mute, who has watched the charade.

Наверно надо добавить, что здесь укороченная версия : For a commemorative presentation in Piccinni's bicentennial year of 2000 at Bari, the composer's native city, further streamlining resulted in an "intermezzo for four voices" in the revision of Lorenzo Tozzi. (The notes in the accompanying booklet inform us that not all parts of this opera survived; Signor Tozzi includes a terzetto from another Piccinni-Petrosellini collaboration, leaving the total length (69:13) suitable for a curtain raiser--perhaps a Rossini one-acter.)
