Composer Gioachino Rossini comes back to the three Italian cities — Rome, Naples, and Venice — and recalls artistic beauties and experiences of his life.
In Rome in the thirties lives Nito Valdi, a difficult boy just out of the reformatory, who works for a local boss together with his friend Tony. The meeting with the beautiful Carmen will take Nito's life to an unexpected turn: after the loss of his greatest friend, with the arrival of fascism Valdi approaches the Blackshirts, while he becomes Carmen's worst nightmare. Nito is obsessed with her and wants her at any cost. But Carmen is expecting a child with Giancarlo, scion of one of the most prominent families in Rome: the Fontamaras. The story of Carmen and Nito, who turns out to be a Nazi psychopath, is intertwined with that of the Fontamaras, who have just discovered that they have Jewish origins and therefore must leave Italy to avoid falling victim to those like Valdi.
Giuliana De Sio was born in Salerno and grew up in Cava de 'Tirreni, where her family originates from. De Sio's first public appearance was her when she was five in a show at the Teatro Verdi in Salerno.

Her professional debut took place in 1976 when Gianni Bongiovanni chose her for Una donna. Elio Petri then gave her a part of her in Mani dirty di lei and Tonino Cervi chooses her to act in The Imaginary Sick with Alberto Sordi.
