Gianni-Schicchi is a comic account of the schem- ing of Buoso Donati ' s family to obtain for themselves all his property, which he has willed to the church. As the scene opens, the family is bemoaning the fact that their dear relative, Buoso, has died, but when they find the will, their feigned tears of grief turn to cries of disappointment. Rinuccio, who is in love with Gianni-Schicchi ' s daughter, suggests that they ask for his help. Schicchi decides to impersonate Buoso on his deathbed, since no one else knows of his death as yet, and dictate another will to a notary. When the OPERA GIANNI- SCHICCHI ' notary arrives, Schicchi, dressed in Buoso ' s night gown and cap, easily distributes the minor possessions among the relatives, but he leaves the most important ones, for which a few of the relatives have made private propositons with him, until last. As he dictates this part of the will, the relatives hold their breath. He leaves them all to his good friend Gianni-Schicchi. As soon as the notary has left, the relatives all pounce upon him, but he succeeds in ordering them out of his newly acquired house. The opera ends on a happy note as Schicchi is wealthy, and his daughter is now able to marry her lover, Rinuccio.
