Rodiana

Rodiana is a remarkable and exceedingly funny comedy, brimming with witty retorts and performed in various languages. Written by Ruzzante, with contributions by Piermario Vescovo and Andrea Calmo, this play exemplifies the vibrant theatrical scene of the Italian Renaissance.

This edition offers a modern audience the chance to rediscover a pivotal work of 16th-century Venetian literature. Known for his innovative use of dialect and his sharp social commentary, Ruzzante crafts a hilarious and engaging narrative that captures the spirit of the era. The play's enduring appeal lies in its clever wordplay, farcical situations, and vivid characters, making it a significant contribution to the history of European drama.
