Atto primo
[ A clearing in the woods. At the right stands Guglielmo's modest house. At left, rear, a path leads into a thicket ending at a cliff joined by a bridge to another, opposite. It is spring. Flowers are draped everywhere, and the set is decorated as though for a celebration. Near the house is a table with bottles of wine, glasses, dishes of food, and the like. Peasant musicians are seated around the table. A chair near the house has Roberto's travelling sack on it. Guglielmo, Anna, and Roberto are seated at the head of the table. ] CORO DI MONTANARI: [ Roberto and Anna walk arm in arm ] CORO: [gossiping amongst themselves ] [ The musicians play a country dance ] Gira!

The stage remains empty for a moment; then Anna comes out again, alone.] ANNA: [Holding a posy of forget me nots] Se come voi piccina io fossi, Voi, di me più felici, [Anna places the posy in Roberto's sack, while Roberto, appearing and watching her, silently approaches behind her] ROBERTO: Ah! ti ho côlta!
