Carlo Goldoni, Venetian playwright

Carlo Goldoni est né le 25 février 1707 à Venise. est un auteur dramatique italien, de langues italienne, vénitienne et française. Créateur de la comédie italienne moderne, il s’était exilé en France en 1762 à la suite de différends esthétiques avec ses confrères. Une plaque commémore son souvenir sur la façade de la maison de la rue Dussoubs où il est mort dans la pauvreté le 6 février 1793.

The playwright Carlo Goldoni, born 25 February 1707 in Venice,  moved to France in 1762 after 5 years of conflict with his compatriot and rival Gozzi. His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays, admired for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty, offering his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle classes. Though he wrote in French and Italian, his plays make rich use of the Venetian language, regional vernacular, and colloquialisms. A plaque can be seen on the house where he died in poverty on 6 February 1793.
