Nemorino enters the scene drunk thinking he's taken a love potion he received from Dr. Dulcamara. Knowing that Nemorino will inherit a fortune from his uncle who has passed, Giannetta and the women of the town greet him by flirting hoping for a chance to share his inheritance. Nemorino, unaware of his newfound fortune, is convinced that the potion has worked.
