LA SIGNORA MORLI UNA E DUE
PERSONAGGI
ATTO PRIMO
ATTO SECONDO
ATTO TERZO
A lively domestic scene opens in the elegant, slightly chaotic salon of a Florentine lawyer, where the nervous yet charismatic Ferrante Morli drops by with a vague message to deliver. His frazzled attempts to recall a name are immediately interrupted by boisterous young men, Aldo and Decio, whose playful rivalry over a tennis ball turns the room into a humorous whirlwind of shouts, jokes, and quick‑wit repartee. The ever‑present housemaid Lisa adds a dry, observant commentary that grounds the frenzy with a touch of practical humor.
As the characters mingle, family ties and hidden attractions begin to surface: Ferrante’s marriage to Evelina, their son Aldo, and the tangled connections with the Carpani family hint at deeper entanglements yet to unfold. The play’s witty dialogue and rapid‑fire exchanges set a bright, comedic tone, offering listeners a snapshot of early‑20th‑century Italian society where love, ambition, and miscommunication collide in a charmingly tangled tableau.

Best known for turning theater inside out, this Nobel Prize-winning Italian writer explored identity, illusion, and the strange gap between how people see themselves and how others see them. His stories and plays still feel modern for the way they mix sharp wit with deep unease.
