Dedica - Scarabocchio Le Commedie, vol. 1

In this lively opening, the author invites listeners into a fully imagined 19th‑century playhouse, describing every detail from the polished wooden aisles to the hush of the audience. The narration is both a celebration of the theatrical craft and a gentle satire of the social classes that fill the seats—aristocrats, scholars, bustling students, and the ever‑watchful critics. With a tone that blends reverence and humor, the text sketches a troupe of actors, a meticulous director, and a small orchestra poised to launch the performance.

The dedication itself becomes a performance, as the playwright steps onto the proscenium in a flamboyant costume, book in one hand and a feather‑ed hat in the other, addressing the “Serenissima” audience. He frames the upcoming comedy as a harvest‑time celebration, promising songs of vintners, playful banter, and the kind of mischievous misadventures that thrive in a well‑lit, comfortable auditorium. Listeners can expect a witty, fast‑paced first act that sets the stage for a series of amusing encounters, all while the author winks at the very conventions of theatre itself.
