Synopsis of the play

If on a hot summer night a famous scientist is caught in the plots, in spite of retaliations and servants of the villa where guests may even happen that a small village a few kilometers from Vicenza, enters the story.

The event, the historical fact, the visit of Galileo Galilei in the territory of Vicenza, where once there was an observatory (which can be seen even today), they moved the show in the frame of the reconstruction of life in the villa. Gather on the illustrious visitor curiosity, fantasies, incidents. A historical facts are mixed with elements of pure imagination.

The key presentation in popular use, however, also quotes Brecht's Galileo to illuminate quick snapshots dl epic with the parable of man and scientist Galileo. Everything is fixed inside the frame of the visit, in which even the servants of the dark for a time in their lives are touched by the breath of history with a capital S

The show starts from the pretext of a letter he sent to his sister Galileo in his old age. In this letter the scientist complained of rheumatism that still haunted him, rheumatism which tradition tells us we will be procured after a good drunk and during a heavy night's sleep in the vicinity of the entrance of one of the many present in the basement of ventidotti many villas of Vicenza (in particular those of Longwood and Costozza). This little detail has become the pretext of a staging that if one side wants to use the popular genres, the other has the ambition to tell, between serious and humorous, one of the most lucid minds in the history of science of all time, a great Italian, ahead of time and ideas, persecuted and condemned by the Church, a clear example of the importance of reason against the darkness of fanaticism. A model for today's man.
