Bianca, youngest daughter of Baptista, wants to marry, but cannot until her older sister, the shrew Katharina, marries first.

All that remains is for Petruchio to tame his bride-to-be.

Maybe Giuseppina Quinn? When I posted in Quick ID's Emiliano agreed that it is her but Ciavazzaro and Johan think she is only a lookalike

The woman with the pink hat in pic n41 is Mara Oscuro on the right and pic in 53

Than by profile in 100 maybe is Alessandro Tedeschi ?

[mortimer]

It doesn't look Lino Capolicchio in the pic. Is there another shot?

[PeplumParadise]

Than by profile in 100 maybe is Alessandro Tedeschi ?

I wondered about Tedeschi, but not sure - I don't think I've ever seen him smiling, which maybe put me off!
