ARLECCHINO Arlecchino is a one-act comic fantasy in commedia dell'arte style in which the main character plays four parts. As a rogue, Arlecchino makes love to the wife of the tailor, Matteo, while the latter is reading nearby. As a soldier, he recruits Matteo into the army. As a husband, he quarrels with his wife and attacks her lover. As a conqueror, he elopes with Matteo's wife just as the old tailor returns from the army! By arrangement with G.
