Reflect yourselves, young people, in these lovers I present to you; laugh at them, and do not let them laugh at you. Thus Carlo Goldoni introduces his comedy to the reader, and this brief sentence truly captures the essence of the work. Two young lovers, Eugenia and Fulgenzio, show us how a sweet, pure, and undeceived love can, for no reason, turn into mad jealousy: from here arises a series of spites and furious quarrels, alternating with sweet reconciliations and languid desires.
