Rambaldo Tramontana, a count who went into battle backed by the French, returns to Matera to take revenge once he is victorious, but the city is deserted and he begins to commit abuses and violence. Filiberto, his perfidious squire, thinks he can marry his daughter, Greta. She discovers that Paolo, the son of Duke Bresci, is not dead as wrongly communicated; she falls in love with him while the young man vows to avenge his father, forced into exile by Count Tramontana, and will try to free his daughter, Gisella, engaged to Count Mario Del Balzo. Paolo, aided by many reinforcements, manages to conquer Matera while both Rambaldo and Filiberto will be killed after a bloody sword fight. Once the city is liberated, two weddings will be celebrated.[3]
