"PULCINELLA"

Pulcinella and Pimpinella have played together since they were small. Now they are growing up and starting to have other feelings for each other. Pulcinella loves Pimpinella but it seems as if Pimpinella has other dreams. And what plans does Pantalone has for his daughter Pimpinella? How can Pulcinella win his Pimpinella back?
