Excerpt from La Commedia della Peste: Quattro Atti in Versi
Come è nata La Commedia della peste? Come nascono tutte le commedie. A volte il tema vi balza netto nel cervello, mentre pensate a tutt' altro; a volte una frase, una scena, una parola, un tipo colto dal vero in treno, per via, a tavola, al ballo, a teatro ve ne danno lo spunto; a volte ve lo da il libro, a volte anche il giornale. Veramente' la base del mio lavoro è tutta dal vero. Ho veduto la mia Dianora, il mio Amerigo, le mie ancelle, a cui potrei mettere a una a una il nome reale.
