Summary |
"Gl'ingannati degli accademici intronati di Siena" by Unknown is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the love complications and social dynamics among a cast of characters, including Gherardo, Virginio, and the young Lelia, who disguises herself as a boy named Fabio. Central themes include deception, love, and societal expectations, set against the backdrop of a comedia dell’arte. At the start of the play, the Prologue introduces the concept of the comedia, explaining that the characters, known as the Intronati, seem to have shunned the company of women, expressing their discomfort towards a previous romantic entanglement. Key characters such as Gherardo and Virginio discuss their frustrations about marriage and the desire for their children to marry well. Lelia, in disguise as Fabio, embodies the complexities of love, harboring feelings for Flamminio, who is infatuated with Isabella. The opening sets a lively tone as Gherardo’s infatuation with Lelia, the challenges of navigating romantic relationships, and the humorous misunderstandings unfold among the characters.
