Lola Visconti-Brignone

Italian short drama directed by Luigi Maggi.

One of the early Pathécolor silent films

He is a brave and gallant young lieutenant of the Italian army at a time when his country is on the eve of war with Turkey. He becomes infatuated with a country girl of intense love nature and splendid womanhood, one lacking knowledge of the world and experience in life. When her feeble insight into character and motive is pitted against his superior intelligence and that long practice in the craft of heartbreaking that enables a handsome gentleman in uniform to practice a form of enchantment with such women, the result is easily foreseen.

In medieval Viterbo, Galleana loves Ferdinando but is desired by Count Gherardo, whose schemes lead to her murder. The ensuing conflict and public outrage culminate in Gherardo being handed over to the people of Viterbo for judgment.
