A season is not a season at the Piccolo without the inevitable appointment with the jests, the duels and the laughter of the legendary "Harlequin" created more than sixty years ago by Giorgio Strehler, bringing life back to the tradition of Goldonian theatre. Today, after having travelled the world, "Harlequin" brings its magic back to the stage in via Rovello, where it was born in the summer of 1947.
