The small square - Il Campiello

This 18th-century Goldoni comedy tells of the conniving, gossiping and gambling that enliven the daily activity of a bustling but impoverished Venetian piazza where gambling, dancing and neighborly quarrels reign supreme. The haughty Gasparina catches the attention and interest of an attractive visiting count. Quarrels run rampant throughout this crazy story of the small square, hushed by a wedding party and erupting again as the festivities draw to a close.
