In 1598, his son Giacomo, lover of his stepmother Lucrezia, was involved in the investigation into the death of Francesco Cenci, a violent and dissolute patrician. To defend him, Lucrezia accuses Olimpio Calvetti, Francesco's steward, who had helped Beatrice Cenci. Under torture, Beatrice also accuses Olimpio, but she is sentenced to death and beheaded in Castel Sant'Angelo. In the end, the judge also has Giacomo and Lucrezia locked up.[3]
Beatrice Cenci was distributed theatrically in Italy by Cei-Incom on 6 September 1956.[1][2] It grossed a total of 223,400,000 Italian lire domestically.[2]
