It is based on Liolà, a comedy play by Luigi Pirandello.

[2] In late-nineteenth-century Sicily, the wealthy Zia Croce has a large, successful farm, which she runs with her cousin, Zio Simone.

Their situations are apparently solved, but actually complicated, by the appearance of Liola, whose seductive powers are put by both women to practical use.
