Et mondana ordinare takes the wills left by three women who lived in Bergamo in Italy between the 13th and 16th centuries to explore their lives in historical context. Landowner Anexia left everything to two men. Adeleita, a rich widow, left her fortune to impoverished young women so they could choose between marriage and entering a nunnery. Abbess Grazia Dí Arzago devoted herself to bringing art into her convent. Daniela Persico’s first documentary explores the cultural heritage of these three women from history.
