Plot summary

Rome, 1800. Rugantino is a fool in love that rages eternal, though he is very unlucky in love stories and fruitful occasions. In fact, he is denounced for trying to rob the elderly uncle of his inheritance, apparently believing that he's dying and Rugantino sentenced to public torture of a squire. Rugantino is in love with young married Rosetta, whom she appears to love because of his innocence and ineptitude. The young man is then accused of murdering a Roman nobleman and sentenced to death. His fate is sealed, and after spending a few days in jail, Rugantino is beheaded.

Cast
gollark: I remain undecided between maths, CS, physics, some combination of those, or some sort of engineering.
gollark: It's £9250/year and even that is pretty subsidized in a weird indirected way.
gollark: That was one of them, but also you apparently get more total money from going to university, even accounting for not doing work for several years. It's hard to predict future income trends though.
gollark: I looked at the datoids™, and this seems a bad idea for various reasons.
gollark: I am probably to go to university next year, but I still haven't actually decided what to study.
