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.
