Carlo Goldoni was born in Venice in 1707. While studying
Law in Pavia he was expelled from his College for having written a
satirical tract about the people of Pavia. He continued his legal
studies in Modena and finally graduated in Law in Padova. After
practising this profession for a short while, he abandoned it in
favour of the theatre. An extremely prolific theatrical career
followed spanning over sixty years.
Goldoni was a prolific playwright, widely regarded as the Italian
Moliere. He died in Paris in 1793.
"a great gift for students of Italian/English, for students of Goldoni and Italian theatre, or for theatre-lovers. Or for a true friend." - Words to good effect
