ITALIAN DESCRIPTION:
Beatrice di Rionero divenne cieca per lo spavento provato la notte in cui, bambina, le fu uccisa la mamma derubata dei gioielli da Ernesto Basileo, scrivano del notaio Sordi. Il doppio delitto, su falsi indizi, fu attribuito a Ferdinando Baldieri, che fu giustiziato. Il figlio di questi, Carlo dopo dieci anni di volontario esilio, ritorna in Italia celeberrimo medico. Guarisce Beatrice e la sposa quando ulteriori indagini fanno piena luce sul passato del delitto e riabilitano la memoria del padre di lui.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:
Based on a popular Italian novel written in 1875, “La Cieca di Sorrento” (“The Blind Girl of Sorrento”), gives an interesting picture of customs and life in Naples during that period. Set in 1834, little Beatrice di Rioniero witness the robbery and murder of the mother by Ernesto Basileo, a young lawyer who gambles. The shock of seeing her mother choked to death makes the child blind. Circumstantial evidence sends to the gallows Ferdinando Baldieri, a nobleman and revolutionary leader, who dies rather than betray his comrades. Ten years pass and Baldieri’s son, now a famous surgeon in London, goes back to Sorrento to cure the charming Beatrice. After restoring her sight, Breatrice and Carlo marry but they will have to deal with the past.
