Based on Carlo Goldoni's masterpiece, the plot features a protagonist who is miserly, imperious, irritating to his servants, oppressive to his son and granddaughter, and dislikes and resentful towards the world. From the opera's opening lines, it would seem impossible to empathize with such a character, but in the play, the female universe prevails.

Teatro "Dino Buzzati"

In this show, Simone Cristicchi represents the uniqueness of the marvelous city of Trieste. He defines it as a city of "two paces," fast and dynamic, yet long immobilized. And then "two tempos," as in the immediate post-war period, when Italy was liberated in 1945 and Trieste only in 1954. The show highlights the courage and spirit with which Trieste and its citizens faced everything the course of history threw at them. Through music and words, using audiovisual material provided by the regional RAI headquarters, the celebrated artist will recount the emotions and thoughts of the people of Trieste in the days leading up to October 26, 1954, when Trieste rejoined Italy.
