Vestire gli ignudi: Commedia in tre atti

A lively three‑act comedy opens in a cramped, cluttered flat in Rome, where the aging novelist Ludovico Nota tries to turn his chaotic study into a respectable sanctuary. The room is a jumble of mismatched furniture, over‑laden bookshelves and a constant chorus of street noises that seep through open windows, setting a vivid, bustling backdrop for the action.

Into this disordered scene tumble a cast of colorful figures: the pale‑skinned, nervous young teacher Ersilia Drei, the blunt and blustering former naval lieutenant Franco Laspiga, the nosy landlady Onoria with her sharp tongue, and the weary maid Emma. Their interactions quickly turn the cramped quarters into a stage for witty misunderstandings, sharp banter and a satire of everyday pretensions. As personalities clash and secrets hint at deeper entanglements, the first act lays the groundwork for a humorous exploration of love, ambition and the absurdities of modern Roman life.
