In this every film-documentary reference to facts or real persons is not at all accidental, indeed: happened of Carlo Goldoni work is just to a skillful drama organization of its real life. Goldoni door in scene the true protagonists of its private universe in order to exalt its passions: love, food and gambling, ironic, backs of the fate and its enemies. An art that, in virtue of its famous reform of the theatre and the comedy, will touch unsurpassable summits and will carry the world wide reputation.
