ATTO PRIMO

ATTO TERZO
A lively comedy unfolds in an elegant Roman salon on the day of Palma’s wedding, where social niceties and family expectations collide. The industrious Barbetti, a flamboyant mother from the provinces, arrives with her reluctant son Carlo, intent on making a grand impression while navigating the bewildering household of the Lori family. Their banter—filled with sharp retorts, misunderstandings, and a hint of hidden tensions—sets the tone for a satirical portrait of aristocratic pretensions and the day‑to‑day absurdities of high society.
Through quick‑witted dialogue and a cast of diplomats, senators, and scheming relatives, the first act sketches a bustling, flower‑laden scene that feels both intimate and theatrical. Listeners will be drawn into the play’s rhythmic exchanges, catching glimpses of rivalries, secret alliances, and the ever‑present clash between duty and desire—all while the story balances humor with a keen eye for the quirks of early‑20th‑century Italian life.
