| Summary | "Ad armi corte: Commedia in un atto" by Roberto Bracco is a one-act play written during the early 20th century. The piece showcases comedic elements that explore themes of love, rivalry, and societal roles, particularly focusing on the interactions between women and their relationships with men. Through sharp dialogue and humor, the play reveals the complexities of romantic entanglements and the competition for affection. The story unfolds in the parlor of Dr. Arletti, where Laurina Corbari enters, establishing herself as a vivacious character who claims to be in love with Riccardo Negri, a friend of Valeria Arletti, the doctor's wife. The tension escalates as Laurina confronts Valeria, revealing her status as Riccardo's lover for three years while simultaneously implying that Valeria is also involved with him, albeit for a shorter duration. As the confrontation progresses, Laurina employs both charm and intimidation to establish her dominance, wielding the threat of revelations that could disrupt Valeria's domestic life. The play concludes with a comically tense exchange that highlights the manipulative dynamics at play, leaving the audience to reflect on the themes of jealousy and competition in love.
