The guild of papermakers in the Italian port of Amalfi, the Congrega dei Cartari, makes the finest paper in Europe, from worn-out clothing, and is known for choosing carefully whom it will sell to. So Queen Giovanna II of Naples, better known as Giovanna the Insatiable, decides to travel to the Mediterranean town herself to buy paper for a love letter to a certain Pandolfo Piscopo, whose affection matters to her greatly. With her go her retinue, servants, soldiers and personal guard, and above all the chroniclers and poets of Naples, charged with putting the queen's feelings into words on the special paper and recording the journey for posterity.
