A scenari written in the traditional Commedia dell'Arte style and format. One year ago, Flavio and Isabella met in Venice and fell in love, but she was forced to return to Bologna with her father, Doctor Graziano. The Doctor promised that Isabella would be married to the oldest son of the House de Bisognosi when they returned to Venice in one year. But, a few months ago, a charlatan named Fracasso tricked the wealthy merchant Pantalone de Bisognosi (Flavio’s father) into thinking he is the man’s estranged nephew, a war-hero returned from Spain. Fracasso, as it turns out, is older than Flavio, and thus entitled to marry Isabella. Fracasso, however, has no interest in marriage, so he hatches his own plan with Flavio and his servant Arlecchino to perform as “the Asshole,” driving Isabella into Flavio’s arms with his outrageous and offensive behavior.
