This opera's characters are terrified by the tolling of a funeral bell, and are relieved when they learn that it tolls for the death of the mayor's Moor. Its main character fools the pompous doctor Spinelloccio by speaking from behind a curtain, and details his plan in the aria "Si corre del notaio." This opera's plot is set in motion when Zita tears open a roll of parchment, causing its characters to scheme to acquire a house, a mill at Signa, and a mule. Its main character's daughter sings that she wants to buy a wedding ring but considers throwing herself into the Arno to convince her father to help its central family. However, that family is furious when the title character poses as Buoso Donati and wills the inheritance to himself. Named for a character in the Divine Comedy, for 10 points, name this one-act opera in which Rinuccio's lover Lauretta sings the aria "O mio babbino caro," written by Puccini.
