Additional Notes

  • Think of Flavio as Odysseus, Spavento as Telemachus, Arlecchino as Eumaeus, Flaminia as Penelope, and Orazio as all her suitors.
  • There is a fake slave.
  • F-Name problem with Flaminio. Note that this may be there because Flaminio Scala wanted the last comedy to end with him getting Isabella.
