Translated by ChatGPT with oversight and corrections from Talia Felix in 2023Â
from an old scenario by Carlo Goldoni (18th century).
PLAYERS:
VALERIO - Lover of Lucinda
LUCINDA - Lover of Valerio
COLA - Servant of Ottavio (the latter does not appear on stage)
A child who does not speak*
[Costume for Desavedo, a variant on Dottore]
[*Translator's note: The sequence with the child has little impact on the story, and could easily be cut by having Valerio's reaction to the letter in Act II Scene VIII provoke the delerium of Act III Scene II, and thus end the second act on this; Act III then begins at Scene III.]
