Teatro Dialettale – “Renzo e Lucia spusàs o spusàs mia”

What happens when the most famous love story in Italian literature is rewritten with the sharp wit, comic timing, and unique style of our local dialect theatre? The result is “Renzo e Lucia spusàs o spusàs mia” (Renzo and Lucia: To Marry or Not to Marry?), a hilarious comedy that puts a satirical spin on Manzoni’s classic novel The Betrothed.
Featuring a far less intimidating, much clumsier Don Rodrigo, a deeply gossipy Perpetua, and the two betrothed couple questioning their own destiny, Piazza del Sagittario becomes the perfect open-air stage for an evening of pure laughter. This show brilliantly blends traditional local acting with non-stop comedy, making it the perfect choice for a lighthearted night under the stars celebrating regional cultural heritage.
