by Niccolò Machiavelli 
starring Massimo Venturiello 
featuring Maurizio Micheli 
, and featuring Antonella Piccolo, Guglielmo Poggi, Marco Imparato, Martina Fatighenti, Enrico Spelta, and Matilde Pettazzoni. 

A contemporary reimagining of Machiavelli's masterpiece that transposes Renaissance Florence to the heart of the global city, amidst glass skyscrapers and financial screens. The characters act not out of love or faith, but rather out of convenience, opportunism, and a desire for power. Callimaco is an unscrupulous manager, Nicia is an elderly CEO obsessed with succession, Lucrezia is a clear-headed woman choosing survival, and Fra Timoteo is a media ethics consultant. The comedy thus transforms into a scathing satire of contemporary capitalism: a cynical world where every relationship is a transaction, and the most unscrupulous wins.
