About Carmela the Dressmaker of Montesanto
Carmela becomes the obsession of the young Count Luigi, heir to the recently deceased's estate, who moves into the decrepit villa nearby. The count is an inveterate womanizer and ends up snatching Carmela from her boyfriend, deceiving her with his lies. Wounded in a duel over another woman, the nobleman is assisted night and day by Carmela, who witnesses a number of moments of delirium in which the man accuses the butler, Giangrande, of an unspecified blunder.
Directed by Elvira Notari, Carmela the Dressmaker of Montesanto leans on a strong ensemble — Tina Somma, Camillo Talamo, Goffredo D'Andrea — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1916.

Good hearted but not very wordly-wise, Dante is happy driving the school bus for a group of mentally handicapped children, while feeling he is somehow missing out on life and love. So he is very excited when after nearly being knocked down by her car he meets Maria, who seems immediately enamoured of him. He is soon invited to her sumptuous Palermo villa, little suspecting that this is part of a plot. He bears an amazing likeness to Maria's stool-pigeon gangster husband and it would be convenient for them if the mobster, in the shape of Dante, was seen to be dead and buried.
