This play has amazingly been overlooked as there seems to be no other translation from the originalItalian into English. Sparkling Books has unearthed it and brought it to the fore. This perceptivetranslation by Anna Cuffaro has been acclaimed by Goldoni academics for brilliantly preserving therhythm, humour and the fast pace typical of Goldoni's dialogue, while the monologues are deemed to beas striking in the new language as in the original.
