Synopsis: "O Mio Babbino Caro" forms the heart of Puccini's comic one act Gianni Schicchi. The opera adapts a short portion of Dante's Inferno. Set in 13th century Florence, the story opens with the death of Buoso Donati. Gathered around is Buoso's extended family's, who are more interested in the contents of his will rather than his unfortunate passing. Upon learning that Buoso has left everything to a monastery, the relatives decide to invite the clever Gianni Schicchi to formulate a plan. Schicchi's daughter Lauretta and Rinuccio Donati are madly in love but are unable to marry due to Schicchi inability to afford a dowry. The Donati, who despise Schicchi, attempt to through Gianni out of the house. In a fit of passion, Lauretta pleads with her father in this aria to help her in her love. Moved by his daughter's plea, Schicchi invents a plan to impersonate Buoso and leaves all the best portions of Buoso's estate to himself as a dowry for Lauretta.
