“Una delle ultime sere di carnovale” by Beppe Navello

Abstract

The essay examines the last production of Beppe Navello, Una delle ultime sere di carnovale by Carlo Goldoni. In his famous staging of 1968 Luigi Squarzina interpreted the play as a metaphor of difficulties of mise-en-scène in the years of the birth of the public theatre in Italy. Navello, on the contrary, explores the play in its own autonomous structure, as a network of interesting characters for themselves, focusing on the clash between men and women.
