Description

After learning that her lover Gibello, announced dead, was the murderer of her father who had died some time earlier, Abellina often comes to pray at the latter's grave. One evening, she hears a voice ordering her to take revenge for his murder: taking heaven as her witness and brandishing a dagger, she then vows to no longer love Gibello.
