In this work, Giovanna is asked to "safely guard this tender blossom" in "Veglia, o donnma, questo fiore", but that character, being in love with a man she knows as Gualtier Maldé, sings "Caro nome che il mio cor" after his "E il sol dell' anima, la vita e amore".

Marullo, Ceprano, and Borsa give a blindfolded man a ladder so they can kidnap his supposed lover, acting out Count Monterone's curse. The kidnapped Gilda is actually that blindfolded man's daughter, and Gualtier turns out to be the Duke of Mantua. For 10 points, name this opera with a canzone about the fickleness of women, "La donna è mobile", in which Sarafucile is hired to kill the Duke by the titular hunchbacked jester, a work by Guiseppe Verdi.
