On the CENTENARY OF THE DEATH of Eduardo Scarpetta (November 29, 1925)

Il medico dei pazzi is one of Eduardo Scarpetta's funniest farces, a perfect machine of misunderstanding. Written in 1908, it tells the misadventure of Don Felice Sciosciammocca, a wealthy landowner, a bit ignorant, very naive and hopelessly provincial, who for years has been paying for the studies of his nephew Ciccillo, convinced that he has graduated in medicine and runs a prestigious asylum. Too bad Ciccillo, instead of studying, has squandered everything on fun and gambling, piling up debts and creditors.
