Seduced And Abandoned (1964 Film)

	Seduced And Abandoned (1964 Film) ''Seduced and Abandoned'' ( it, Sedotta e abbandonata) is a 1964 Italian film directed by Pietro Germi. It was screened at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival. Plot The film presents the tale of Agnese Ascalone, daughter of prominent quarry owner Vincenzo Ascalone, and takes place in a small town in Sicily (specifically Sciacca), as did Germi's previous film, ''Divorce, Italian Style''. Agnese is seduced by her sister Matilde's fiancé, and has a tryst with him for which she confesses and tries to repent, only to be discovered by her mother and father. Vincenzo immediately demands that the man, Peppino Califano, marry his daughter, and antics ensue. The film is a dark satire of Sicilian social customs and honor laws, and is very similar to ''Divorce, Italian Style''.

It has views of the Mediterranean Sea. History Thermae was founded in the 5th century BC by the Ancient Greece, Greeks, as its name suggests, as a thermal spa for Selinunte, 30 km distant, whose citizens came there to bathe in the sulphurous spring (hydrosphere), springs, still much valued for their medical properties, of Mount San Calogero which rises up behind the town.
