Non fare ad altri...

This brisk one‑act comedy opens in the cramped office of a provincial police commissioner, where authority collides with absurdity. The cast is delightfully small: a pompous commissioner, the rotund, mustachioed brigadier Malomone, and the wiry guard Fasanisi, each delivering rapid, exaggerated lines. Their banter quickly centers on a mysterious “tonfo” — a fall from a wall that no one can agree on — setting the stage for a series of misunderstandings and petty power plays.

The humor erupts from the brigadier’s clueless confidence, the commissioner’s exasperated decrees, and the guard’s unnoticed presence, turning a simple report into a theatrical farce. Originally written to satisfy the demand of celebrated comic actor Ermete Novelli, the piece showcases sharp wit and brisk pacing that still feels fresh today. Listeners will appreciate the lively dialogue and the snapshot of small‑town bureaucracy turned into comic chaos.
