Description
Summary:<p><span>This paper explores an Italian adaptation of Lope de Vega’s play <em>Los tres diamantes</em>, written in the second part of the seventeeth century. Its author, Carlo Celano, was a famous writer of <em>opere regie, i. e.</em>, adaptations of Spanish comedies of situation. The analysis focuses on the way in which the adaptation of the Aristotelian units of space and time leads to a reduction of the characters and a simplification of the situation, although this is compensated by enriching its ludic component. This last trait can be also observed in a previous re-elaboration of Lope’s comedy, the <em>scenario </em>of the <em>Commedia dell’arte</em> titled <em>Il cavaliere dai tre gigli d’oro</em>.</span></p>
