...mistress goes on holiday to Constantinople, has a bad night at roulette, sells the earrings. Bought by an Italian diplomat, the widower Baron Donati (De Sica), they travel with him to his new post-at Paris, where in the course of social events he renews acquaintance with his old friend, the count, and is introduced to the countess.

The ancient Chinese, Aztecs and Incas all played a similar instrument. Its introduction to Western civilization dates from the late 19th Century, when an Italian named Donati made a turnip-shaped flute of baked clay with eight finger holes. He subsequently killed himself by falling off a balcony. Perfected by a German wagon maker named Heinrich Fiehn, Donati's invention became the rage of Vienna in the '90s. The very finest ocarinas were manufactured from...
