Desc: Carlo Goldoni: Venezia, Gran Teatro del Mondo: Directed by Alessandro Bettero. With Alessandro Bressanello, Tiziana Grillo, Flavio Rover, Lucio Brighi. In the 1700's, while the glory of Venice was to the apex of its splendor but to the beginning of its express decline, Carlo Goldoni anticipated the French revolution renewing the European theatre: it removed to the actors the mask of the comedies of the art in order to show the true face and the emotions of the bourgeois of the age of the illuminism.
