Lord Adolfo was the only son of Countess Isabella Montovani. He fell in love with Giovanna, a beautiful commoner and they bore a child together. Their child is Angeletta. Adolfo welcomed Giovanna and Baby Angeletta to the Montovani mansion, but Lady Isabella gave her disapproval because the honor of Adolfo's name is very important for her. The count and his family soon left the mansion. After leaving the Montovani mansion, Adolfo became ill and died without being personally recognized by his daughter, Angeletta.
