Lombardo Film

In 1921, Titanus released a three-part serial based on a popular Italian novel from the turn of the 20th century: Nobody’s Children by Ruggero Rindi. The tale of lovers thwarted by class differences, of illegitimate children and parental recognition denied was a major success for producer Gustavo Lombardo and leading lady Leda Gys.

A Neapolitan tailor, Nennella (Leda Gys), in love with a painter, who has a slender woman named Paquita (Pina Piovani) as a lover, decides to become, in turn, a diva of variety. One evening, he is on stage with his rival, while the painter is in the proscenium box. To disfigure the enemy, Paquita does not hesitate to resort to unfair means and hires a large claque to be applauded and whistled by her rival. A great commotion arises, in which the two women and their supporters take part. Screams, scratches, bites, seats. In the turmoil, the painter is wounded and, transported to Nennella's dressing room, as soon as he comes to, he seals the pact of love with a kiss.
