The main character of the film is inspired by the real count Tacchia, Adriano Bennicelli.[2]
In 1910 in Rome, the poor carpenter Francesco, by a twist of fate, is recognized as a member of a noble family in the process of decay. Francesco knows the cynical and ruthless Prince Torquato Terenzi, disappointed by life and progress, and also falls in love with the beautiful Duchess Elisa.
When Prince Terenzi dies, Francesco realizes that he is not enriched by the inheritance, because the noble family is broke; so he enlists himself for the Italo-Turkish War in Libya, but quickly returns to Italy, disgusted by the atrocities of the fighting.
