Gloria! plot

The year is 1800; the place is Sant Ignazio College, a dilapidated old music institute for girls, somewhere near Venice. Here lives "the Stupid", a silent, lonely girl who is charged with the humblest of chores. No one knows her name is Teresa; no one suspects that she possesses an extraordinary talent that allows her to sense the harmony of the universe and reshape reality through music. While everyone at the college is worried about the upcoming visit of the newly enthroned Pope and the old Kapellmeister struggles to compose a new composition for the Pontifex, Teresa makes a discovery in a warehouse: a brand new invention, a beautiful instrument - a pianoforte.

An orphanage for girls near Venice doubles as a music academy. In 1800, Pope Pius VII is appointed head of the Roman Catholic Church and, due to the high level of the girls' orchestra, Maestro Perlina [Paolo Rossi] is offered an offer he can't refuse: he must write a composition for the Pope's inauguration within six months, to be played by 'his' orchestra of orphan girls. The problem is, he can't do it! The girls' patience soon runs out and so a group of them gather in a cellar to come up with something of their own. A rivalry develops between the classically trained virtuoso Lucia [Carlotta Gamba] and Teresa [Galatéa Gamba], a maid with no formal training who plays purely on intuition. With a musical opening that strongly recalls Laurie Anderson’s ‘O Superman’ and expands into something unique, Vicarto immediately makes it clear that she is not so much concerned with a historically accurate document, but with showing the power of musical expression for groups of people who are unheard and marginalized. Joyful, humorous, inspiring and dedicated to the female musical composers of this forgotten period whose musical legacy has largely been lost. That will give Vicario the space to present a musical composition in the finale that is a musical smörgåsbord of styles that radiates rebelliousness.
