Gennaro, however, has male skills generously provided to him by mother nature and thanks to which he is very well liked by the women of the palace who with every excuse attract him to their apartments to seduce him.
Agata discovers the situation and, since this is the only activity that her husband seems to like to do, resigned she organizes paid meetings herself without Gennaro's knowledge.
With the proceeds produced by the unsuspecting husband, Gennaro and Agata's apartment improves visibly and, suspicious, Gennaro finds the book where Agata notes the appointments.
