Countess Cassandra

Cassandra, played by Marcella Silvestri, is Jean Claude's nymphomaniac wife, arranged by his father for tax reasons. In the early seasons, she seems to be the only one unaware of her husband's sexual orientation. In the early episodes, Cassandra is intent on carrying out diabolical plans, employing phantom magic around a boiling pot. Initially, the countess tries in vain to transform Jean Claude into the lover of her dreams, using spells, medicines, or dubious gadgets; all attempts fail miserably. As time passes, Cassandra abandons her designs on the baronet, becoming his friend and accomplice.
