Downstage from the stairway is a doorway leading to another part of the villa and offstage. Stage right is Puccini's study. Upstage we see an upright piano where he composes. At a ninety degree angle, stage left of the piano, is a very large writing desk. Upstage is a large window looking out on a wooded lake setting.
Stage right is an old beat-up couch.
Stage right in the upstage corner is a full gun cabinet. The walls are lined with filled bookshelves. The study is very cluttered and unkempt. The street runs from stage left to stage right. Upstage are three stores side by side facing downstage.
