From Tuscany/Umbria, this is a kind of Mazurka dating back to the second half of the last century. It originated most likely in Tuscany from a narrative song. The song, narrating the history of Sor Cesare and the girl Nina, was released by the composer during country fairs through the selling of handbills.
