Overview

"Casa Colonica Bozzetto" is a striking scenic sketch (or bozzetto) for Act I of the opera Liolà, composed by Giovanni Mulevarie. This visual artwork vividly conveys the rural Sicilian setting that forms the backdrop of the opera, based on Luigi Pirandello’s acclaimed 1916 play of the same name. The bozzetto presents the casa colonica—a traditional farmhouse—not simply as a physical space, but as a microcosm of the social dynamics, rustic charm, and emotional tensions that define the world of Liolà. Pirandello’s original play is notable for its pastoral tone and unorthodox morality, revolving around a free-spirited man who challenges societal norms through charm, wit, and a defiant sense of independence. Mulevarie’s operatic adaptation preserves the earthy realism and psychological complexity of the source material, while enhancing its emotional resonance through lyrical vocal lines and expressive orchestration. The farmhouse setting serves as a central locus where relationships are tested, secrets surface, and community values are both upheld and subverted.

The poster’s visual elements reflect the sun-drenched landscape of rural Sicily, with architectural details and warm color tones that evoke a sense of both nostalgia and tension. This rustic environment is key to the opera’s thematic content, reinforcing the contrasts between tradition and desire, fertility and sterility, individual freedom and societal expectation. In Act I, the casa colonica is not only the site of daily labor and domestic routine but also a stage for interpersonal drama and comic intrigue, as characters navigate issues of paternity, inheritance, and reputation. Mulevarie’s music deftly mirrors these interactions, blending folk-inspired motifs with more modern harmonic textures to create a score that is as emotionally nuanced as it is melodically accessible. Thus, "Casa Colonica Bozzetto" functions as both a visual interpretation of a physical place and a symbolic entry point into the opera’s thematic universe. It invites viewers and listeners alike to step into a world where rural life meets philosophical inquiry, and where melody and drama intertwine to bring Pirandello’s characters and ideas vividly to life.
