The Little Schoolmistress (Italian: La maestrina) is a 1934 Italian drama film directed by Guido Brignone and starring Andreina Pagnani, Renato Cialente and Egisto Olivieri. It was based on a play of the same title by Dario Niccodemi which was again adapted into a 1942 film.[1] It was shot at the Cines Studios in Rome.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Gastone Medin. Brignone's sister Mercedes Brignone had starred in a 1919 silent film version of the story directed by Eleuterio Rodolfi.
In a village in rural Tuscany at the turn of the twentieth century the young schoolmistress is wrongly suspected by gossips of conducting a secret romantic affair.
