Alessandro (Alessandro Tiberi), meanwhile, is sent at home of the parents of Arianna (Caterina Guzzanti) for a painting to be used in the set and finds out that the girl comes from a wealthy upper-class family.

René (Francesco Pannofino), gripped by worries and torments, is visited in a dream by Sandroni, last director who has worked on Machiavelli before his death suicide. The deceased colleague tells him his only chance of salvation: to find Tarzanetto... That evening, at the theater, goes on stage the premiere of La morte lenta (The slow death), unsustainable monologue by Stanis (Pietro Sermonti) that at the end of the show dedicates a song to Arianna. She, in the audience, sinks into an armchair for the shame.
