Specialist Notes

Youthful comedy (1536) by Lorenzino de' Mèdici (1513-1548). The performance, inspired by classical comedies, was solemnly staged in Florence on the occasion of the wedding between Duke Alessandro de' Medici and Margaret of Austria. The events related to the protagonist, the old and miserly Aridosio, and his brother Marcantonio, struggling with the different education given to their children, are narrated with many comical traits.
