Some of these, written in Paduan and Venetian dialect, use recurring figures and farcical action that for some scholars appear to foreshadow the Commedia masks and character types. This we see, for example, in L’ipocondriaco and Il filosofo, which delve more deeply into the psychological musings of their protagonists, as Goldoni will continue to do in the 1740s with his first complete comedies. When I wanted to express an emotion, I never sought the most recondite, the most elegant, or sublime term; but rather the most real, and the most expressive.

Naturally, in the libretti the tragic elements, initially at least, owe their existence as much to the standing tradition of opera seria as they do to Goldoni, just as it is true that serio characters (or amorosi) where not extraneous to the Commedia dell’Arte either.

The same is true of La contessina (1743), no longer an intermezzo but a commedia per musica that represents a delicate point of transition from Goldoni’s early musical texts to the definitive confirmation of his philosophy of theatre and his output as an established librettist. La pupilla was an immediate success and secured Goldoni’s standing as a theatrical author: “…fu ben ricevuta e applaudita; e scorgendovi il Pubblico uno stile nuovo, cercarono di sapere chi ne era l’Autore, e sapendo che la medesima mano aveva composto La pupilla ed il Belisario, fu allora che cominciai a vedermi onorato di partigiani, di protettori ed amici.” ← 42 | 43 → 40.

Even if not directly related to his comic production, this episode is worth recalling not only for the memorable image of our author vexed and provoked by the ‘red priest,’ but also because it serves perfectly to give a sense of who Goldoni was as a man, his own comic personality just as original as that of his staged characters.
