Description
CALMO, Andrea. Rhodiana comedia stupenda et ridiculosissima. Venezia, Stefano Alessi, 15538vo; Leg. del sec. XVIII in pelle, titoli e fregi in oro al dorso, tagli colorati; pp. 119, 1; Iniziali xil. all'inizio di ciascun atto, car. italico e tondo. Buono stato di conservazione.Rara seconda edizione. L'opera fu attribuita a Ruzzante, il cui nome compare nel titolo stesso. Il letterato veneziano, che fu anche attore e comico, nelle sue commedie si avvicinò al Ruzzante per alcuni elementi popolareschi, per le invenzioni sceniche e per alcuni agganci con la Commedia dell'Arte. Di particolare interesse per quanto riguarda la lingua: il Calmo giocò con maestria sulle tipizzazioni e sull'uso di vari dialetti manovrati con abilità per rappresentare e ridicolizzare la vita quotidiana.
