La Mama in the Villa...

Shakespeare's Molto Rumore per Nulla (Much Ado About Nothing) takes on a whole new meaning when it's on the grounds of an ancient villa with exceptional actors with Italian elocution.

La Mama Spoleto Open is the Fringe Theater component to the Festival dei Due Mondi and has an exhaustingly exciting program happening concurrently with all the other events in town.

While we didn't stay long due to the language challenges, we delighted in the La Mama actors talent and enthusiasm and the environment in which the play took place.

Villa Redenta was built on the remains of a Roman villa along the old Via Faminia and at the center of complex vicissitudes [vicissitudesplural of vi·cis·si·tude (Noun) 1. A change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant. 2. Alternation between opposite or contrasting things].

This beautiful residence, from late Roman times and owned by early Spoleto nobility to Pope Leo XII followed by a missionary school and lastly the province of Perugia, was a wonderful venue to experience Much ado about Something!
