In the elegant salons of early‑twentieth‑century Verona, a tight‑knit circle of aristocratic ladies gathers each week to trade gossip and plan their soirées. Their routine is shattered when word spreads that Count Andrea di Santasillia, long absent from the city, will soon return to his family palace. The Marchesa d’Arcole, Generalessa Brocca di Broglio, and Madame Kraupen each vie to be the first to welcome him, turning the club into a battlefield of invitation and intrigue. Against this glittering backdrop, the count’s homecoming promises to stir both hearts and ambitions.

Andrea returns not only to a city eager for his presence, but also to a life shaped by loss and duty. Orphaned as a child and raised under the watchful eye of a cardinal uncle, he carries the weight of noble expectations while secretly yearning for the freedoms of modern thought. As he steps back into Verona’s social arena, his quiet confidence masks a restless soul torn between tradition and desire, setting the stage for delicate alliances and unexpected passions.
