I Semi Della Follia - Carnevale d'Estate 2026

The review Summer Carnival returns to enliven Piazza Torino with brilliant theatrical performances and commedia dell'arte, offering fun evenings suitable for all ages. Saturday, August 8: The Seeds of Madness - Commedia dell'arte Set in the psychedelic 1970s, “The Seeds of Madness” is an ironic show with a fast pace and rich in twists where, in a crescendo of intrigues and mysteries, a story teeters between reality and fantasy, nightmare and dream. An intriguing challenge that has catapulted Eugene Labiche's work “L’affaire de rue de Lourcine” from the bourgeois salons of Paris to the Venice of the post-Beatles era. And indeed, there are many analogies between vaudeville and Commedia dell'arte: first of all the characters, with their traits and masks, the criticism directed at a certain social class, the “asides” to the audience, and above all the comedy of the situation. Artistic direction: Giovanni Giusti Free admission. Start at 9:00 p.m.
