The event is inspired by the works of Carlo Goldoni, the great Venetian playwright, master of character comedy and keen observer of everyday life in his time, who with his “baruffe” was able to tell with irony and realism the human relationships, the conflicts, and the social dynamics of 18th century Chioggia.
The event aims to bring life, colors, and stories back to the alleys, transforming urban spaces into a true widespread stage where theater, music, and popular narration meet. The alleys thus become lively and dynamic scenes, where Goldonian atmospheres take shape through interpretations, dialogues, and situations that recall the Venetian theatrical tradition.
The “baruffe,” understood as lively confrontations and comedic situations of daily life, become the common thread of a choral representation that unites actors, citizens, and visitors in a shared experience.
Le Baruffe in Calle are not just a show, but also an occasion for meeting and participation, where the community reclaims its spaces and traditions.
An event that renews every year the bond between past and present, offering visitors an engaging and unforgettable experience at the heart of the culture and work of Carlo Goldoni.
