Mio Dio, come sono caduta in basso. Fiorenzo Carpi

The Marquise Eugenia di Maqueda (Laura Antonelli), an orphan raised by the nuns, marries Raimondo Corrao Alberto Lionello), but on their wedding night she finds out that he is her brother. The piece of news is in a letter written from Paris by their father, a womaniser who lives and hides from them in the French headtown. The pair decide, to avoid the scandal, to live as brother and sister. He will later leave for the war in Lybia, she will find solace and sexual satisfaction in the arms of the family chauffeur (Michele Placido). Fiorenzo Carpi (1918-1997) was an Italian composer and pianist, born in Milan and graduated at the Milan Conservatory. Then he was a stable member of Piccolo Teatro di Milano since its founding in 1947. He also collaborated with the Nobel laureate playwright Dario Fo on all his plays between 1953 and 1967, then sporadically until Carpi's death in 1997. Fo's 1997 play 'Il diavolo con le zinne' (The Devil with Boobs) featured an homage to Carpi following his death. Carpi was a prolific film score composer, well known for his long collaboration with the director Luigi Comencini, like in this movie. I have selected two themes of the soundtrack, 'Il tema di Eugenia' and 'Czarda di Raimondo'.
